Thanks Axe,   Very cool.. and you can even rotate the Earth. 

Here's one of my favorites by a couple of Google guys.. they just missed added offshore winds.

Put your pointer over your local area and click to expand and see specific speeds.

Thanks so much for this wind map stoney.  Please don't hesitate to give us links to these astonishing noa sites.

My mind is completely blown when I click on the 'earth' and choose different pressures (hPa), etc.  Loads and refreshes quick, so happy.      

It's s new go to for downwind forecasts.  GREAT site.  

This is a tremendous aid to understanding a weather chart.  If you should come across a chart that moves, I'd be grateful for the link.

southwesterly:  the site works great with the chrome browser.

Jesus.. it's even better than I thought!  Besides rotation, it expands and moves... just wonderful.

I like being able to see the line of the dulldrums that extend across the eastern Pacific from Panama, along the equator, out to even with the Hawaiian Islands.
Everyday I've checked it, since knowing about this site, it's always been there.
It will be interesting to see how things change as time goes on.
It takes a quiver to do that.

Trying to see if there are any other data sets they are working with but I can't find much more about it.

If you click on it, it zooms in. How do you un-zoom?

Use your mouse wheel, in and out, assuming you're using a desk top.
