Maps of sea surface temperature, especially time-lapse sets of them, really do work best in the hot to cold rainbow of colour.<br /><br />I hate to criticise maps, but with a combined oceanography/cartography hat on I certainly agree that the ocean health index map is hideous! Irregular sized gaps between the polygons don't look intentional either. But hey, lets continue to try to give them the tools to do a better job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233799389834464062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123225361504762353.post-45595321104310866512013-08-22T12:25:26.532-07:002013-08-22T12:25:26.532-07:00A question related to the Ocean Health Index map. ...A question related to the Ocean Health Index map. Aside from the problems of using this color scheme, isn't it also misleading to symbolize "ocean health" on a map by country rather than my region or area? I don't think that the health of the ocean is the same in the waters north of Alaska as it is in the Port of Houston in Texas. Might this information (classified by country) be better (more accurately) displayed in a chart or graph of some sort?Joseph Mayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858567215043209421noreply@blogger.com
