Usage

One layer, one overlay.

Transform feedback
Particle positions advance on the GPU every frame; the CPU never touches them.
IDW texture
generateWindTexture turns scattered samples into a U/V texture with inverse-distance weighting.
Live data
This page reads current 10 m wind from Open-Meteo on a 15° grid, refreshed hourly.
