Thousand miles of wind
Posted: 17 Apr 2012 05:56 AM
The past two days have seen quite a bit of wind with high wind warnings
and wind advisories issued by the National Weather Service. The
featured map presents a crude calculation of the amount of air that
passed by an observation station as expressed in miles of wind. As in
your car, the distance traveled is simply the product of your speed and
the time you traveled at that speed. This calculation is shown in the
featured map with some locations over 1,000 miles in the past two days.
More gusty winds are expected today.
