Its weird looking at Hawaii and how there seems to be a thousand km ridge which Hawaii sits on deflecting wind - what gives?
If it is higher land elevation below the water, shouldn't it have no impact on the wind? Or would if create some sort of weird additional resistance to the wind from the friction between the wind and the water and then the water and the higher land mass below it?
This is the correct thread for these questions - right?
I've seen that before, but never explored it. If you click on "earth" in the bottom left you get a bunch of options. I like setting the height to 250, and the projection to E. Looks cool!

What the?
Ok seriously. Website of the year so far. It gives you wind patterns, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, so2 levels around the globe. Plus a temperature map of the globe, ocean currents ocean waves etc etc etc.
Why hasn't google maps picked up on this yet? I'm very dissapointed google.
Has anyone experienced the new Westjet Connect system? I am flying back from Hawaii on Feb 7 on the 767 and wondering if you can watch live tv on your device? I understand its not on all the 767's yet, but wondering if I am able to watch the superbowl. (poor planning on my part).
If you select "particulates" DUex you can see how they are lifted from the Sahara and brought across the ocean to fertilize the Amazon. Earth is cool.
Isn't particulates, dust, sea salt, volcanic ash, air pollution, forest fires? DUex would be light refraction because of those particulates in the atmosphere. Do you mean dust and sand fertilizes the amazon somehow? I'm really curious how they are related.
Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't a high DUex mean your orange moon and colorful sunset while a low one means clear air and a not so spectacular sunset? Los Angeles with a high amount of particulates from air pollution always has a high DUex?
I believe it is going to be any large particulates in the atmosphere. I had watched an interesting program that studied this massive transport of material from Africa to South America. Yes, the dust brings with it nutrients the Amazon needs.

I don't believe the 767's have connect yet. But either way it doesn't have live sports channels at this point.
If you were on an airplane with connect (make sure you download the app for phones and tablets!!) the best you could probably do is online updates if you purchased internet access. It doesn't have enough bandwidth for video streaming typically.
It is a really good system for movies and shows, and there are a couple of news channels, but it doesn't have the live sports ability that the older live tv system has.

Yeah the options is what makes it so incredible, its been popular here in Iceland as news agencies have been posting it before the many storms that have hit us this winter so we can follow them live.
Sadly I bet 9 out of 10 people will only use the one setting that you see when you open the site, so many cool features.

It's the accuracy that's the most facinating and difeerent atmospheric regions. Look at Calgary at 100 meters above sea level and it shows nothing. Look at Calgary at 1500 meters and it dispays data coming off the mountains. If it's windy outside it shows it. The temperature heat map is the same as weather web pages but more accurate if anything.
There's a ton of information there. I say cancel the weather network channel and just run this all day on channel 19. We'll get more out of it.
^^^You look at the carbon monoxide and and carbon dioxide levels on the u.s. east and west coast and you think "wow, that's bad". Then you look at china and realise half of china is covered in it with a higher concentration. They must have daily health alerts or something.
