Take A Look At The Coolest Wind Map Ever

Ever wonder what the wind really looks like? Turns out Vincent Van Gogh wasn't far off when he painted Starry Night.

The folks at Many Eyes, an experimental visualization company funded by IBM, have released an amazing map showing how the wind moves across the country in real time. Upon a quick glance, it’s easy to see why all the wind farms are being built in the Midwest, Northwest and Northeast.

Click on the map to see the interactive version. It’s hard to take your eyes away.

I agree with Bob, I'd like to see off shore wind maps, but I presume that data only comes from buoy and ship instruments

Very cool. Would love to see this expanded to include offshore winds, as well as more countries.
