Open Wind Vector

See the atmosphere in 3D, at every altitude.

Wind Vector for Mac shows the wind above any place on Earth as a 3D stack, from the ground to the jet stream. It stands on a 3D globe with real terrain. Orbit it, tilt it, zoom out to the whole Earth and click any level.

What Wind Vector for Mac does

See it in 3D

The wind above a place as a stack of levels, from sea level to 45,000 feet, or 100,000 with High Altitude. Particles drift with it. Orbit, tilt and zoom over real terrain, out to the whole Earth.

Every level, every hour

Click a cube for its full conditions, or isolate its level. A time slider covers 7 days back and 7 ahead, hour by hour. Forecasts from NOAA's GFS model, updated four times a day.

More than wind

Color the stack by shear, veer, lift, temperature, humidity or clouds. Add radar, satellite clouds and active storms.

Built for Mac

Native and fast, with keyboard shortcuts for everything. No account needed.
