Creating animated "weathermap" maps of kriged data. #292

Open rkertesz opened 6 years ago

rkertesz commented 6 years ago

Heatmaps are nice. The carto point based heatmaps are really nice. Kriged heatmaps are really nice too though. Is there a way to use Torque but render kriged maps like a weather map looks? E.g. this (taken from qgis) temperature_map or this (taken from weathergraphics.com) daws11

I know that you can render rasters stored on carto (@ramiroaznar has some good examples) but there is no documentation that discusses how to use datacubes with such rasters. Is this possible now? Would it make more sense to create a continous krig from animated point data on the fly (probably not?) or to create a raster and serve it up through a datacube?

I apologize if this has been done and/or this is part of carto.
