Model: Global weather forecast model from the "Japan Meteorological Agency"
Update: 5:30 GMT und 18:30 GMT
Greenwich Mean Time: 12:00 GMT = 13:00 BST
Variable: Wind 10 meters above the ground
Description: This chart displays the modeled average wind vector in 10 m above the ground for every grid point of the model. In general, the actual observed wind velocity at 10 m above ground is a little bit lower than the modeled one. However, usually the computed wind velocity is pretty close to the reality. Therefore this chart is very useful for sailors, gliders, hang gliders and balloon pilots. (wind-converter)
