Wind Map US: Near Live Wind Trails Visualized
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the "Wind Map US," a near-live visualization of wind trails across the United States, accessible at http://hint.fm/wind/. Users express enthusiasm for the tool, particularly its potential integration with Google Maps and Google Earth for enhanced functionality. The map is noted for its real-time updates, making it particularly useful during tornado and hurricane seasons. Some users report performance issues on certain browsers, specifically Internet Explorer, while others, like those using Firefox 3.6.28, experience no problems.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of web-based mapping tools
- Familiarity with real-time data visualization
- Basic knowledge of browser compatibility issues
- Awareness of meteorological phenomena such as tornadoes and hurricanes
- Explore integration techniques for web-based maps with Google Maps API
- Research real-time data visualization frameworks like D3.js
- Investigate browser compatibility testing tools for web applications
- Learn about meteorological data sources and how to overlay them on maps
This discussion is beneficial for web developers, meteorologists, and anyone interested in real-time environmental data visualization, particularly those looking to enhance user experience with mapping technologies.

Thank you, Greg, for the tip. Great wind trail map, and I agree with you, I'd love it to be integrated into Google Earth.
Cheers, Bobbywhy

Doesn't work, it says to use chrome, they designed it not to work with IE? Yes, I like IE 7, I like the tools, makes it more user friendly for me.

Good idea, Greg, to bump this great wind map for all of us...members and visitors alike. It's a remarkable view of our winds in real time (+ or - a few minutes).
