Visualization of Climate data using paper craft

Visualization of Climate data using paper craft

I really enjoy to occasionally build a tool to present data in a tangible way. Using paper craft is a great way to achieve this: the only thing you need is a printer, scissors and some glue.

So to try to visualize climate data from various satellite datasets, I build the website climate.vouwgrond.nl where you can build your own "Climagon" - a five sided pentagon with on four sides the different months, and one one side a trend line + annual average/cumulative values.

Alternatively you can also select a small summary card (which does not need any glue!) or a stripes representation of the data.

Be sure to visit the site and give it a try!
