System and Method for Presenting Wind Speed Information

A system for generating a wind speed information presentation, comprising:

• (a) a geography database including graphical representations of geographic areas;
• (b) a graphical display device;
• and
• (c) a computer system connected to the geography database to retrieve graphical representations of geographic areas therefrom, to the graphical display device, and to a source of wind data and adapted to receive wind data defining wind detected for a geographic area from the source of wind data, to derive from the wind data wind speed contour lines delineating regions within the geographic area at which wind speeds within a selected range of wind speeds have been detected;
• and to display on the graphical display device the wind speed contour lines overlaid on a graphical representation of the geographic area to provide a wind speed information presentation.
