Cartographic Animations



http://www.noaa.gov/features/02_monitoring/elnino1.html
A cartographic animation is a map that tries to show a visual image that would be difficult to show on a still image. The main goal is to show the depiction of change in the map. They usually show change over time and can be temporal or non temporal. Relevant to the effects of current climate change,  El NiƱo refers to occasional periods of sea surface temperature warming in the tropical Pacific that influence the world’s weather patterns.
