Visualizing Climate Data

This project was built to explore complex data visualization using D3.js. It takes a massive JSON dataset of historical global land surface temperatures and maps them onto an interactive, color-coded heat map.

Users can hover over specific years and months to see the exact variance in base temperature, providing a clear, visual representation of climate trends over the last two centuries. It required precise SVG rendering, responsive axes, and custom tooltip generation to ensure the data was easily readable.
