Cartographic Animations

Hurricane Katrina Storm Track Probability

Cartograpic animations are generally used to depict change over time.  These types of maps are common in predicting hurricane paths and can show either a predicted storm pattern or the actual path taken.  This cartographic animation is of Hurricane Katrina right before the storm made landfall.  Given it's projected path and the chances of hitting that path, represented by different colors, southeastern states were given a hypothesis of exactly what the storm may do.
