Techniques for monitoring and predicting environmental operating conditions in a data center are provided. In one aspect, a method for real-time, three-dimensional analysis of environmental operating conditions in a data center includes the following steps. High spatial resolution three-dimensional measurements of one or more environmental variables in the data center made at a time tare obtained. Real-time measurements of the environmental variables in the data center made at a time t, wherein tis later in time than t, are obtained. The high spatial resolution three-dimensional measurements are combined with the real-time measurements to derive a model for the environmental variables in the data center at the time t. The model is used to predict three-dimensional distributions of the environmental variables in the data center at the time t. A base model can be created and used to derive the model for the data center at the time t.
