Super Cool from Supercomputers
At this time of year when everyone seems to be gazing backwards and looking at the big picture of the past year, I thought I’d share a global view of a different sort. Â For us sailing nerds, this is amazingly cool (get ready to waste some time). Â Click here http://earth.nullschool.net/.
Wow, this is too awesome. Â You can view the globe in any projection, and the winds at various altitudes (click the text ‘earth’ to pull up the settings menu). Â Move forward in time for the forecasts. Â Click on a location, and you get wind speed and direction. Â Thanks to our friend Rich, creator of iNavX, for bringing it to our attention!
Anyway, as a final note, we here at J/World want to thank you all for being a part of our team. Â We wish all of you and yours a continued happy holiday season, and fantastic new year!
Fair winds, and following seas, as they say. Â And maybe you can use the above map to find them!
All the best,
Wayne Zittel and the J World Team
