This is a real time world wind map - very interesting if you have an interest in weather.

What elevation is this being measured at?

Adding some topography would be neat although I mentally inserted the Rockies, Adirondacks and Appalachians.

Being a balloon pilot this map has been on my link list since it came out.  It is a great way to see airflow.  Those of us with a strong weather background can see the high, lows and Rockies without trying.   ;D

for anyone with a serious interest in winds, clouds, reading weather maps or forecasting (I don't get rained on when riding) this is a great place to start.  http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/index.htm (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/index.htm)
