An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future.
This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. These are near-term forecasts, revised once per hour. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.

These cats have other cousins that roam the wilds, but we don't get a look at them as often as the bigger, more famous species. 1.

The total estimated population is only about 2500. 2. The Pallas's Cat (Otocolobus manul) is also called Manul. 3.
