Master the Art of Visualizing Animated Wind Flow Maps!

Visualize wind patterns and catch the breeze like never before! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create stunning wind flow visualizations using R, a powerful programming language for environmental modeling and geospatial analysis. You’ll turn real-world wind data into mesmerizing, animated wind flow maps using ERA5 wind components, the metR package, and gganimate. From data prep to publication-ready animation, you’ll master techniques used in environmental science, GIS, and climate modeling—all inside R.
