When enough aircraft at an altitude band have varied headings, the wind vector pops out of a linear system solving TAS² = (GS + W)² across them.

Data flows: METAR via siphon · Upper-air from ADS-B inverse solve · Storm watch fuses pressure tendency, wind rotation, and anchor delta from live AIS vessels. Sources are cross-verified so a single dodgy station won't skew the picture.
