This image shows 3 isosurfaces of wind speed (50, 60, and 70 m/s) from a side view at the upper left, rotating to an overhead view in the bottom right. The data is from the initial conditions (zero hour forecast) of the HWRF model.
This will be a devastating event for Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Eastern Cuba, and the Southeast Bahama & Turks and Caicos. Please see hurricanes.gov for forecast and impact information.

Your data looks like dog poop.
Not the most intuitive or informative visual to be quite honest. What exactly are we looking at and what does it mean? You provided a brief description with the post but it should be integrated into the visual as much as possible.
This is incredible, both the data itself and the visualization!
Cool visual representation. No legend tho, so bad job.
I wonder how far above ground level that reddest donut starts

Is it squished from a 10:1 wide thing to a 1:1 to fit in the square-ish display boxes, or am I misreading the scale?
I’m sad the crew that flew through Melissa to get this data will be replaced with a Sharpie next week.
This looks like one of those devices medical students use to practice measuring a dilated cervix during childbirth.
Where can I buy the top down view? asking for a friend.
