wind map

Atmospheric circulation diagram

A wind map is a visualization showing wind patterns across a geographic area, typically displaying direction and speed through animated lines or arrows.

The flowing patterns reveal how air moves across terrain in real time or as historical data.

Wind maps help meteorologists, sailors, pilots, and renewable energy planners understand atmospheric conditions: The wind map showed a front moving through the Midwest.
