Linguistic Atlas: :Home Gapminder: Unveiling the beauty of statistics for a fact based world view. Wind Map An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.

These shoreline surveys are the authoritative definition of the U.S. high-water line and may also include details such as roads, prominent buildings, and other features along the coast. The NOAA Historical Shoreline Survey Viewer Survey from 1885 for Dana Point, CA The NOAA Historical Shoreline Survey Viewer provides access to a large number of historical shoreline surveys conducted by NOAA and its predecessor organizations. Note, many of the scanned surveys have large file sizes, which have been reduced to more manageable preview sizes for Google Earth. Using the Shoreline Survey Google Earth Tool A time slider is available in the upper-left corner. The Original Scan and World File go together.
