Instruments and stations
Every instrument that reports weather in the country, counted by the state it stands in. A state has its own list, where each one names what it stands at, its county, its coordinate and its height. Darker is denser: Texas holds the most at 6,129, District of Columbia the fewest at 25.
What this map opens
- Every instrument, drawn where it stands. All 73,273 of them over the country, each in the colour of the network it reports on.
- A state opens to fill the frame. The country falls away, and every instrument in it names itself: what it stands at, its county, its coordinate, its height.
- And the whole state as a table under it. Sorted by rank, by height, by name or by what reads it, searchable, with its own charts and its own rankings.
