This doesn't have anything to do with the commenter above: they're looking at the wind speed for their area, not the wind in alaska. If the wind speed on the site is radically different from the speed outside their window, then coming to the conclusion that the site's wind data is low resolution is perfectly valid.

There's even a streaklines display, as in this article, although it's an old Java applet.
