Double radar echoes in eastern Norway/western Sweden
-
@vegard-ylvisåker
If the Norwegian Met Institute shows the same ‘double’ echoes, how can Windy fix them and change the data provided by this Institute?
I am not a radar specialist but I guess it is a problem of bad synchronisation of 2 radar sources which gives this blinking of the composite picture -
@idefix37 That’s kind of the opposite of what I was trying to say, but maybe it was awkwardly formulated. The duplication is not present in the raw data, but in the windy app. The pulsating fake echoes are present both places.
-
@vegard-ylvisåker It is very unclear to recognise it, I personally do not see the duplication.
-
@korina There is no doubt that the duplication occurs. My screenshot is not from the rainiest of days, but you can still clearly see the duplicate echoes. I’m on my phone now, so it doesn’t allow me to upload photos, but I have highlighted some of the “identical” parts for you.
As I was checking now however, there was a temporary fallout of one of the radar sources, and that made the duplicates to disappear. I compared it to the raw data, and the fallout was identical, but there is still no duplication there when that specific radar came back online.
This makes me think that there is some sort of offset on one of the radars in your system making the overlap of the different sources erroneous.

@vegard-ylvisåker Hello, I was able to spot the duplication today. We will look into it.

@korina FYI, I have been seeing the same the last couple of months. Same area.
-
@lars-erik-aalbu Thank you, we will try to fix it.
-
@korina Still double…
-
@vegard-ylvisåker It is on our to-do list.

@Korina Don't know if "i also have this problem" is useful, but yeah .. that. First noticed it a bit into the lightning season, so maybe 2 months ago. Haven't noticed any change back and forth, double images have persisted.
Say the word if you want screenshots, and I'll hassle myself to convert from PNG like @Vegard-Ylvisåker did 🦊

@excubated Hello, we are about to release an update, that will solve this double echoes issue.
-
@Korina I’m happy to report that the twins have disappeared and that the radar image is displayed correctly now. Thanks!
-
@Vegard-Ylvisåker Happy to hear that! The update is out and echoes are not longer visible. @Lars-Erik-Aalbu @excubated
