A Galapagos albatross track (Identifier: 4264-84830852) displayed on Esri World Terrain basemap between June and July 2008, illustrating the relationship between the movement speed and wind support. a The visualization highlights the use of higher tailwind support (shown in blue color) for faster outbound flights (shown with thicker lines). b The map highlights the actual wind direction using vectors of variable size (representing the wind speed) as it relates to the movement speed (represented as point size) along the path
