Interactive, motion-filled US Windmap

Interactive, motion-filled US Windmap

A pretty stunning visualization of wind direction and speed over the continental US. Data is pulled from the National Digital Forecast Database every hour, so the visualization is almost in real-time. And, impressively, they’re using HTML5 to draw the map and wind animation.

Beautiful + impressive.

You don't get what you expect, you get what you inspect.
