Track Hurricane Ida in Google Earth

Hurricane Ida is on a path for the central Gulf Coast, expected to make landfall tonight somewhere between New Orleans and Pensacola. While the storm is expected to weaken before it hits land, it will still arrive as a strong tropical storm and could cause quite a lot of damage.

As you know, Google Earth has some excellent tools for tracking storms like this. You can overlay weather satellite photos, radar, storm tracks, real-time lightning strikes, pressure maps, wind maps, sea surface temperatures, and more. We've written about many of the tools available in the past. Here is a set of weather tools in a single network link that lets you get access to great weather data in one convenient package. Check out the many datasets starting with two different storm tracking tools. You can also read more details about the collection.

To help you understand what's possible with these weather tools, here is a video demonstration that Frank created a few years ago:

There's also an excellent new tool available for Google Earth which lets you follow the hurricane hunters as they fly into the storms and collect data. Check out the story about live hurricane hunter mission data.

Outreach and the heroes of Google Earth

Since introducing Google Earth Outreach a few years ago, Google has worked hard to expand the program. Google Earth Outreach enabled any organization to quickly and easily get the resources it needs to create compelling stories through Google Earth. They've added three new projects today, all based in Africa: Save the Elephants (KML ), Mapping Africa's Protected Areas (KML ) and UNEP has created the Uganda Atlas of Our Changing Environment. You can learn more about these and other Outreach projects in the Google Earth Outreach Showcase or visit the new Google Earth Outreach in Africa page. Here is a brief video overview of their Outreach program:

Today Google also unveiled the first five members of their "Heroes Project". These are organizations and individuals that have "used Google Earth in their efforts to affect change". They include:

• Project Kaisei, which is tracking the Pacific garbage patch and we've showcased previously


• Save the Elephants, which also happens to be part of Google Earth Outreach


• Borneo Orangutan Survival, tracking the decreasing Orangutan population


• Chief Almir and the Surui, which tracks illegal logging


• Appalachian Voices, which fights against mountaintop coal removal and we first told you about more than two years ago. For more about them, you can watch the video below:

Google has created their Heroes program to inspire others to "use Google Earth to make the world a better place". If you know of an organization that's worthy of being considered a Google Earth Hero, you can nominate them here.

Links: New Panaramio app, Thematic Mapping, ARsights, Disaster Relief, First Pics from WorldView-2

Panoramio launches iPhone app: The team at Panoramio has just released their first iPhone app (iTunes link), to allow you to quickly upload photos directly from your phone. It's a very simple app -- open it, log in, and upload. New Panoramio images are pushed to Google Earth on a regular basis, so this is a simple way to add geo-referenced photos to Google Earth.

However, the app doesn't allow you to view existing photos or browse for photos near you. For that, you'll need to use an existing app such as Layar and have it pull the Panoramio photos into it. I'd expect a future update will have more features along those lines.

Using KML for Thematic Mapping: Bjørn Sandvik has just released his research paper on Thematic Mapping as a free PDF download. In his word: A thematic map displays the spatial pattern of a social or physical phenomenon, such as population density, life expectancy or climate change. The paper (PDF) provides an in-depth look at thematic mapping, while the link above gives a nice overview of the thesis.

ARSights: We discussed InGlobe technologies earlier in the year when they released their slick Augmented Reality program. Using your web cam, you could virtually show a 3D model on your desk. It was a neat program, but had some shortcomings: Windows only, and it only had a few 3D models to use. They've now built a Mac version of their program and introduced ARSights to hook into the Google 3D Warehouse to let you use any of the models in there. Below is a quick video to show how the process works:

Powerful IT for disaster relief: Earlier this month, Google held a day of workshops in Washington for over 20 various humanitarian organizations, to share ideas on how to improve humanitarian and relief efforts when disaster strikes. They covered a lot of topics, using tools such as Google Earth and Google Map Maker to handle various situations. You can read the full recap on the Google LatLong Blog.

First Images from WorldView-2 Satellite: Just twelve days after its launch, the first images from DigitalGlobe's WorldView-2 Satellite are available. The first images are of a few locations in San Antonio, Texas, where the GeoInt 2009 Symposium will be held this week. The images look very crisp, and the quality is expected to improve as refinements and calibrations are made to the system. Below is an image that the WV2 captured of Dallas Love Airport.

Links: Race My Race, Random Hacks of Kindness, WorldView-2

Race My Race - Designed for athletes that want to visualize an upcoming event (running, biking, etc), this uses the Google Earth plug-in and gives you a test drive of your event. It has some slick features -- an elevation overlay as you go, start/finish gates, easily controllable speed. The downside is that many places are just flat. For example, I had it simulate the Boston Marathon, and the first 90% of the race is useless -- just flat scenery with a few hills. The end of the race (shown below) is kinda neat, with the 3D buildings all around. This simulator would do well to offer the option of StreetView, as that would make many of these courses much more lifelike. Still, it's a neat project. (via All Points Blog)

Random Hacks of Kindness - Google is partnering with The World Bank to host a codejam called "Random Hacks of Kindness". As they explain: Random Hacks of Kindness will bring technologists and relief workers together to develop technologies that enable disaster victims to help themselves and give first responders and aid workers the tools they need to better help victims--to reduce loss of life and to speed recovery.

Google has built a variety of geo-related tools to assist after major disasters, such as Tropical Storm Ketsana, the Cyclone in Myanmar, and even back as far as Hurricane Katrina. The results of this gathering should help make these tools even more useful in the future.

DigitalGlobe launches WorldView-2 satellite - Just over a year ago, the GeoEye satellite was launched to provide exclusive imagery for Google. The WorldView-2 satellite was launched a few days ago aboard Boeing Delta II 7920, and promises to bring even more great imagery to Google Earth. You can read more on the DigitalGlobe site, or view the launch of the Delta 2 below:

Data visualizations in Google Earth

One of the great things about Google Earth is how extensible it is using KML. You can use it to show off placemarks, build 3D structures, track wildfires, show educational resources, and much more.

Today's example, from Thijs, shows how well Google Earth can be used as a scientific visualization platform. Some of the highlights of his work include:

Dutch bathymetry: The bathymetry of the entire Dutch coast, varying in time from 1928 to present, with yearly updates in later decennia. It's a total of 4gb of data on the server, so loading a full animation does take a while.

Hurricane Katrina: Animation of the measured winds during Katrina, and the associated water level set up.

Tidal water movement: Animation of water movement during a tidal cycle in an estuary.

For more, you can visit his website and see some screenshots or simply browse the raw files.
