Global weather visualisation

[Zibi]

I just stumbled onto this site:

 

http://earth.nullschool.net/

 

Which has some pretty cool visualisations of the wind and ocean currents at different altitude levels around the world.

 

I wouldn't use it for flight planning, but it's really nice to look at :)

 

You can change the view by clicking on the earth word at the bottom left.
