This seems potentially VERY useful – for thinking about or even just appreciating all kinds of things newly visible in all the lovely details.

wow, it would also be nice if you can integrate daylight/night so the direction of wind change matches, the "pulsing" seems like its daylight related.

Running things at very different speeds or magnitudes does tend to develop new intuitions, in my experience.

depends on what you mean by architecture. but high-level it's basically just loading all the data into texture arrays in vram and sampling them / interpolating between them based on time. so it's just a standard gpu particle sim following a changing vector field

some bodies of water “breathe” bc sunlight feeds the algae which then oxygenate the water and it dips back down at night

I can almost see the hemoglobin

In the browser in wasm*

but cool IS useful!

The inland wind patterns are fascinating

This should be a screensaver

HR wants you to make the inland wind currents to stop pulsating like that, it's making some people uncomfortable.
