Interactive 3D WebGL Globe for real-time daylight cycles
Oclock is an interactive 3D WebGL globe that visualizes real-time daylight cycles. Built with Globe.gl and pre-processed spatial data pipeline. Processing Pipeline The data generation is handled by timezone_data_generator.py. This script performs the following: 1. Geometry Analysis: Uses shapely to find a representative point inside each country's boundary. 2. Timezone Mapping: Uses timezonefinder to look up the specific IANA timezone string for those coordinates. 3. Data Injection: Injects the timezone and coordinates back into the GeoJSON properties for use by the frontend. Live Demo:…

Near-realtime cloud maps for weather visualisation, 3D models and more2023 · github.com · ▲68This is a service I've built to provide equirectangular cloud maps of the whole Earth, updated every 3 hours, for free. It's based on infrared and visible light data from EUMETSAT, processed to enhance the clouds and try to reduce the impact of surface temperatures on the final image. I built it because it's surprisingly hard to find these kinds of images in a format that's useful to developers and hobbyists. I was building a 3D ISS tracker and wanted to include live clouds but couldn't find anything good, so I got sidetracked, and here we are.
