I’m reminded of some software written by a colleague in the Met Office over thirty years ago for the benefit of the Central Forecast Office (CFO). It ran on a couple of IBM5080 colour-graphic display devices that we had (this was just before the invention of the IBM PC) and featured wind arrows similar to the ones in this display. The main difference was that the arrows were coloured according to the air temperature rather than having a second coloured layer. The display of multi-coloured arrows swimming around became referred to by the forecasters as ‘the tropical fish tank’.
