New Wind Visualization Tool Appears
Tools from Windyty and Nullschool simplify understanding the effects of wind.

The effects of the wind, both current and forecast, are now easier for pilots to understand, thanks to a pair of online wind visualization tools that appeared last week. The tools work no matter where pilots view the wind information. Windyty’s flat map display also allows users to select temperature, pressure, cloud cover and humidity charts. Nullschool offers a view of only the wind against a 3-D globe background.
