This Dopplar radar image is from URL: http://www.weatherusa.net/blog/images/doppler-orlando-1943.gif, and depicts weather data to forcasters using satellites that utilize the Dopplar effect of returned echoes from targets (e.g. raindrops).

24-Isopach Map


This isopach map at: http://www.geo.mtu.edu/volcanoes/central_america/nicaragua/cerro_negro/gvn/images/2012neg4.jpg shows ashfall distribution over a geographic area in a given time period. An isopach map is a contour map showing the distribution and thickness of some substance, such as thickness of a stratigraphic layer, or distribution/density of ashfall.


28-DEM (Digital Elevation Map)


The URL: http://www.terrainmap.com/ provides information on a combined set of maps. That is, overlaying both Digital Line Graph (DLG) data on a Digital Elevation Map (DEM). In this example below, rasterized vector data has been overlayed on a DEM to produce the drainage basin map here.


39-Bilateral graph


This bilateral graph at: http://www.rowperfect.com.au/innovative_training.html shows data points represented both above and below a zero line. In this specific example, shows the speed of a boat and rower relative to a common center of gravity.

48-Histogram


This histogram shows multiple disparate but related pieces of data related to a geographic area. In this example, for a total population across numerous geographic locations, comparisons of total dog ownership to vet visits is depicted. The URL is: http://www.alignstar.com/screenshots.html
