The Pacific Ocean sometimes catches a fever in its Eastern tropical part (off the coasts between Central America and Peru): for extended periods of time, its surface waters are abnormally warm.
Sonification techniques: sequencing
Sounds triggered by events The map below shows the main flood events of 2019, their duration and the size of the flood-affected area (for further discussion of this dataset, see the post Sonification techniques: mapping data to pitch and volume).
Exploring the hydrologic regime of 195 rivers in Australia
Plotting hydrologic regimes Most hydrologic studies start by determining the average quantity of water in rivers and how it is distributed throughout the year.
Sonification techniques: mapping data to pitch and volume
Mapping data to visual or auditory properties A common visualization technique is to use the color or size of symbols to represent data. The bubble map below shows an example.
A short introduction to data sonification
What is data sonification? Sonification refers to the transformation of data into sound, using some algorithmic process. Here are three examples worth a thousand words:
