How to read Airgram
-
@idefix37 it would be great for paragliding to work out what wind speed you have at which height. for example if you know that your take-off is at 1500m above sea level then you need to know what kind of wind speed & from which direction is to be expected at that height & above that height. is there another way how to easily find out this info using Windy?

@rk95
In fact, pressure levels can be converted in mean altitudes or flight levels.
Using Sounding you get directly the mean altitude and the wind speed / direction.
On desktop right tap on your mouse.
In the app long press on screen.
Then click the altitude scale to get speed and direction of wind.
You can reduce the altitude scale to 7000m max.
Use the time slider to change time stamp. -
@idefix37 that's awesome, thank you very much!

@rk95 hey
i need this kind of information same as you -
Could you explain how to interpret the airgram at different altitude levels?
Thank you -
@arpaial
First have you read the first post of this topic?

@idefix37 Hi, just signed up for windy premium. My question has nothing to do with this topic, but I cannot figure out how to start a new thread. I have been using forums for 20 years, and there is usually a new topic button. Can you help, I see you are an admin. Thanks.

No, I’m not a administrator of Windy, just a user.
You question is strange because in the menu when you click on Feedback to access the forum, you get the different thread categories of the forum (or may be you need to click on Home).

Airgram has different meaning in meteorology. -
-
Visualize temperature variations across altitudes with color-coded representations, enhancing data comprehension. White figures indicate temperature values for clarity.

@Korina I was following our practice, well, the long bar represents 4m/s and the short bar represents 2m/s.Now I know I misunderstood.Thanks.

@hbtenerji thank you very much! 🙂

@rk95 Did you get that solution, please let me know

Would it be possible to show the height with an altitude rather than pressure, on the Airgram as well as the Sounding? And also be able to zoom to lower altitudes we are likely to be walking / flying in. For paragliding this website has been made:
It has 20,000 views a year despite not been very well known.
