A WebGL-powered visualization of wind power. Capable of rendering up to 1 million wind particles at 60fps.

This project is heavily inspired by the work of:

• Cameron Beccario and his wonderful Earth project with its open-source version.
• Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg and their US Wind Map project.
• Chris Wellons and his WebGL tutorials, in particular A GPU Approach to Particle Physics.
• Greggman and his WebGL Fundamentals guide.

1. Install ecCodes (e.g. brew install eccodes).
2. Edit constants in data/download.sh for desired date, time and resolution.
3. Run ./data/download.sh <dir> to generate wind data files (png and json) for use with the library.
