National Data Buoy Center: wind data along the Chesapeake
This definition constantly updates live wind data from buoys along the Chesapeake Bay. The wind speed is represented by circles around the buoys that are proportional to wind speed. Wind speed is also represented as a mesh topography, with height proportional to wind speed at each buoy along the bay.

The live wind data from the Chesapeake buoys, sampled at about 20 minute intervals during a summer afternoon, evening, and morning, reveals a summer convective wind pattern with land breezes and sea breezes.
