Beautiful visualization! It would be interesting to have an underlay showing the topography so one can correlate features in the wind pattern with mountain ranges, etc.
Great idea. You can clearly see how the wind patterns are distorted around the Sierra Nevadas and Rockies. While in the East wind patterns are much more smooth.
You could also add color to indicate the temperature of the air.
+1. Some of the linear disruptions in wind flow suggest the topography, it'd definitely be interesting to correlate changes in elevation w/ the wind patterns.
