   Hi. I'm the creator of the site. Unfortunately, each time the globe orientation changes, the distortion caused by the projection needs to be recalculated. Tried to think of ways to make this faster or save computations, but haven'

   Exactly! The globe is SVG and the animation is a Canvas layered on top. However, I'm still using D3's projection logic to calculate the distortion. Yeah, could save on redoing the distortion calc if just globe rotation changes, bu

   The NCEP data provides only 1º resolution, so bilinear interpolation is used to fill in the gaps. How much interpolation is needed depends on the zoom level and the projection. On top of that, the distortion caused by the projection must be
