About Earth
Earth is a web-based global map that displays forecast wind, weather, ocean and pollution conditions. The animated map is updated every three hours and can show current conditions or a chosen date. It runs in a browser and is aimed at people who want to see environmental data on a world map rather than read text forecasts.
Users can switch between modes for air, ocean, atmospheric chemistry, particulates, space weather and biology. Within each mode, overlays cover variables such as wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, ocean currents, wave period and height, sea surface temperature, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and different particulate matter sizes. A date selector, timezone and unit controls let users adjust what is shown. Animation can be started or stopped, and a high-definition mode, grid and map projections are available.
The site supports multiple languages and a classic base map. Data is downloaded from sources including NOAA servers, and a notice on the site warns that access could be disrupted. It suits weather watchers, travelers, students, educators and anyone needing a visual view of global conditions.
