I imagine something like this could be a fantastic tool to teach about differential equations and their applications. Just looking at you can see specific hallmarks (sources and sinks), and how that sort of analysis can have super-cool uses.

Does meterology use differential equations to model wind?

All of the big agency (NWS, ECMWF, ICON, etc.) use physical models to create the large gridded forecast products. These models work by solving differential equations so your intuition here is spot on!

yes, but it takes at least a degree to even understand the basics
