Wind Map
This is beautiful and a brilliant, intuitive "100,000 feet up" picture of wind movements.<p>But it's not horribly useful if you are interested in wind conditions at a particular place. Trying to figure out if a spot is experiencing 15mph wind vs 10mph is hard, for instance.<p>Compare it to these maps: <a href="http://passageweather.com/" rel="nofollow">http://passageweather.com/</a> which are not pretty nor are they intuitive but they are useful for someone trying to use the map to get detailed, localized wind condition information.<p>It seems like there should be some kind of middle ground between this wind map and maps like passageweater.com, maps that are intuitive and pretty but also provide detailed, useful information.
