New global wind map

Visualise wind in real time.... fascinating.

 

 

 

"Cameron Beccario, a software engineer, created an interactive map that shows near real-time currents of Earth’s wind using data from the U.S. National Weather Service."

I don't get the picture above, but the real time map is fascinating! Thank you for posting it.

Ah, this picture comes from another website that has an article explaining some of the detail behind the earth wind map. On the http://earth.nullschool.net website if you click the 'earth' at the bottom corner of the page you can alter many parameters, for example the wind at different elevations above the surface of the earth.

 

And on a different note if you are interested in ocean currents this article is a good.
