There's a giant center of rotation parked over the North Atlantic, just off Greenland. The wind speeds are only moderate but it's huge.

- phkahler 10y agoThe size may be due to the map projection. I like the front passing through the middle of the US just west of Chicago. Wind direction changes abruptly along that one.
- crazydoggers 10y agoIt's actually pretty large even looking at an orthographic projection: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-49.11,50.72,732 https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/ort... You can see it form if you go back a couple of hours. I'm assuming it's some form of extratropical cyclone?
- btbuildem 10y agoProjection should play no role here -- the data is visualized on a globe.
