it does look pretty hot and seems the credits ought to get advertised. From the

The analysis and display of wind patterns (near real-time) in the San Francisco
Bay Area are the result of a co-operative effort of the U. S. Geological
Survey, San Jose State University, SRI International, and the National Weather
Service. These groups engaged independently in some aspects of this project
that constituted the results displayed on this web page.
Sequence of events: The Meteorology Department at San Jose State University
(Prof. Douglas Sinton and Alan Becker) receives the near real-time wind
observations provided by the National Weather Service, Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. At San Jose State
University, the original data are assembled, checked, formatted, and then
supplied to the Water Resources Division, U. S. Geological Survey in Menlo
Park, California. The near real-time wind pattern for the San Francisco Bay
Area is calculated from these data using the "Winds on Critical Streamline
Surfaces (WOCSS) model" described by Ludwig et al. (1991)*. This web-page is
developed, designed, and supported by Jonathan B. Feinstein, a staff member of
the Project "Hydrodynamics of Tidal Estuaries," (Project Chief, Ralph T.
Cheng), Water Resources Division, the USGS in Menlo Park, California.

Acknowledgments: The U. S. Geological Survey (Dr. Ralph T. Cheng) has a need of
real-time wind pattern for the San Francisco Bay Area in connection with a
partnership Project, "Current Pattern Analysis for Oil Spill Response", between
the USGS and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The
development of this web-page (Jonathan Feinstein) is motivated and funded by
the USGS and NOAA Partnership Project.
Funding for the Meteorology Department at San Jose State University (Prof.
Douglas Sinton) was provided by the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research through the COMET outreach program. The WOCSS model (Dr. Frank Ludwig)
was developed at SRI International with support from the U. S. Army.
