Earth Wind Map

[DaveK]

We've all seen the USA wind map.... well now there's this.

Cool.

Mind. Blown.

Thanks for sharing!

Very cool - good share DaveK. Cheers!

 

[SloopJonB]

Very cool. Looks like the face of Neptune in the Indian Ocean. No wonder the cyclones there are so powerful with those three vortices.

 

[Torsten]

Awesome! Nice to get the world version rather than the US one that's been floating round for a while.

 

[Maxx Baqustae]

Very kewl indeed Dave - thank you! And yes, the US one was, well, USAcentric. Sorta pissed me off not that there was nothing for the rest of the planet. Good job.

Would be totally awesome to do a mashup of that with racing updates (Vendee, VOR)

 

[NewDogBalls]

coolest. thing. EVER

 

[monsoon]

VERY cool... my oceanography class will love it

Now I know why the internet was invented.

That is bad ass.

Amazing. That's a hell of a system in the North Pacific.

It's awesome but I wish it would tell you the elevation of the measurements and ideally let you choose. I don't see the jet stream at all but I'm on a plane from Seattle to Boston right now and the pilot says we've got a 100kt tailwind.

 

[SloopJohnB]

Have you tried double clicking on an area, it gives position and wind direction & speed.

Great.

 

[Ishmael]

If you click on "earth" you get all sorts of options.

 

[MR.CLEAN]

This is one moment in time, right? Can anyone figure out when?

 

[Ishmael]

Default is "now", you can change the date.

You should know better than to be on the internet while in a airplane! Geesh!

And I'm sure we all want to know what the wind speed is at 50,000 ft.
