This Hurricane Map Doesn’t Mean What You Think

“This Hurricane Map Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means: We use hurricane forecasts to warn people. Why do we misinterpret them so often?” is a motion graphic created by CCS Visualization Program Director Alberto Cairo, along with Tala Schlossberg (NY Times Opinion Visuals Journalist), (“cone of uncertainty”) which appeared online at The New York Times. The graphic explains how to interpet the typical ‘cone’ map, and what the “cone of uncertainty” means. Read more “This Hurricane Map Doesn’t Mean What You Think” →
