Cartographic animation

http://www.mthurricane.com/Hurricane_Charley.htm
Cartographic animations are simply maps that are animated using computers to show a change in another dimension, usually time.  The map above is only a screenshot of the animated radar from hurricane Charley. The real map shows the storm moving and rotating to the north.  These maps are great to show a change or progress over time and are a meteorologist best friend.
