Time on the Horizontal Axis
The most frequent visualization method of a time series uses the horizontal axis to depict the time index. This chapter illustrates several variants to display multivariate time series: multiple time series with different scales, variables with the same scale, and stacked graphs.
3.1 Time Graph of Different Meteorological Variables
There is a variety of scientific research interested in the relationship among several meteorological variables. A suitable approach is to display the time evolution of all of them using a panel for each of the variables. The superposition of variables with different characteristics is not very useful (unless their values were previously rescaled), so this option is postponed for ...
