Bikers, cyclists

I'm hoping I'm missing something, but it seems that showing the 500mb Geopotental Height is somewhat clunky.

Right now I:

• Go to "More layers"
• Scroll down and turn on "Geopot. height" under Display isoclines
• Select the Wind layer.
• Adjust the slider to show the wind at the 500mb level. The has the side effect of adjusting the Geopotential height isoclines to also be for 500mb.

Then when I'm done I need to reverse those operations.

Is there a more straightforward way to do this that I'm missing?

You can zoom in on your preferred location, set the map layer,etc. Then make a bookmark of that view. This will encode the precise settings you have set.

I did find that on the iPad, it doesn’t capture all the encoded setting by just making a bookmark. I needed to copy the URL and then set that as the bookmark target.

I really LOVE the new 3D Mode, please keep it !!!

@idefix37 Thanks for the response. It is not a problem for me but I just thought I'd check to make sure this was intended.

I just noticed that the wind particle animation when viewing the Aerosol layer looks different than on other layers. However, if I go to the Wind layer and adjust the height to be 500 hPa, then the particle animation closely matches that of the Aerosol layer.

Is this a bug or does the Aerosol layer purposely display the wind at a higher level?

@vicb I agree that on the Mac, the 3D mode with particle animation is too slow (basically unusable). This is with a 2 year old iMac running the latest macOS. If particles are turned off, everything is fine. This is using the Safari browser. Firefox is slightly better but still frustratingly slow..

I would love to see HRRR (but I'm in the US, so I'm biased).

@korina @yves70 I understand that not all models have the same data. My concern is that normally the map shows the same values as hourly forecast panel. As you click different models, the map is updated as well as the hourly forecast (except for Meteoblue). However, if you follow my instructions, you end up with one model selected (ICON) yet it is ECMWF values displayed in the map. There is no way the user can easily know this and it is confusing.
