<![CDATA[New sounding with radiosonde measurements]]>We have released new sounding plugin. It took us a while, but we firmly believe it was worth the wait.

What's new:

  • radiosonde measurements, so not only the forecast, but also the actual measured values with a two-week history (a huge thanks to @mhaberler, @rittels, @wetterheidi and others for their help and giving Windy their awesome radiosonde plugin)
  • skew-T log-P diagram support and "non-skew-t" improvements (inspirated by @vicb, @rittels and @johnckealy amazing plugins - thanks!)
  • multiple forecast models
  • fullscreen support
  • mouse tool for finding thermals conditions
  • cloud estimation based on relative humidity
  • ability to zoom (and drag when zoom is applied)

Are you missing any additional functionality? Do you have an idea for improvement? Did you find a bug? Please let us know!

Something like:

BLUE line = dew point (?)
RED line = temperature (?)
GREY line = ISA (?)
GREEN/GREY line = ?

And a description that the movement across the chart shows and what it means.

Thanks!

Professional aviation forecaster here with 20+ years of experience.
You did a really great job with skew-T visualization, but there is one really important feature I am missing. The air parcel curve should initially start from profile surface temperature and dewpoint (reflecting SBCAPE profile), or even more realistic would be to calculate lowest 100hPa mixed-layer parcel T and Td and start from those values (reflecting MLCAPE profile). That is how it is done in most professional met visualization software.
Of course users should still be able to move parcel curve around, but this is just suggestion for initial position of the parcel curve (it should also be shown by default as soon as sounding display is open, not only as you go over the profile with the mouse pointer).
Thank you!

Best regards,
Vinko

Ist es möglich, dass die Höhen im Sounding auch in AGL und für die höheren Schichten in FL angezeigt werden, oder das man es Umstellen kann, damit man direkt Wolkenober- und untergrenzen ablesen kann?

Our devteam is already aware of this.

I have tried it on both Safari and Chrome. While it is possible to pinch zoom the chart using a track pad that puts the current temps off screen. I have not figured out a way to zoom the temperature axis. Horizontal scroll does not work. If you have be careful with pinch zoom on a trackpad as that also invokes another mac function.

I seem to recall that before about last month when you zoomed the sounding zoomed to full screen. That no longer happens

I will appreciate so much if clouds simbols were added when moving temperature selector.

Many Thanks in Advance,
Juan Carlos

For a more detailed evaluation of atmospheric instability, it would definitely be useful to include the CAPE index value in the sounding. I’ll check with my colleagues to see if that would be possible. Have a nice day, Jari

The radiosonde for Vernon, BC Canada is displaying that is the San Diego Miramar, US location. The Lat Lon is correct but the label is not.

The location and data for Tocal look OK however they are labelled as Ri Point Judith, which is an old site from Rhode Island. Tocal and Ri Point Judith have almost the same ID so I can see how they got mixed up.

We are currently not planning to bring light version of the app, but in case you would really need light version of sounding, there is a Plugin released by our community - just look for flyXC Soundings. But please keep in mind this is developed by community and not by our Team. Thank you and hope this helps! Niki

The dark background is so much worse to read.

Name of the location and the model is displayed if you take a screenshot and crop it correctly before sending it as a picture.
Otherwise how can you share it ?

I use it a lot and like that cloud forming is indicated with a grey bar on the left side. In the picture below you can see cumulus clouds predicted to form at around 800 hPa:.
949b816f-446e-404e-a3b6-5dcf1dbbf81d-image.png

If i zoom in the Graph, the grey bar indicating the clouds is no more visible:

Ideally, the cloud visualization would remain unaffected by zooming and would still appear on the left.

If I want to share a screenshot of the graph, it would be nice to have the name of the weather model and the date and the time of the prediction displayed.

Hi, How can we access the radiosonde live tracker. We've launched todays 14/05/25 0000Z radiosonde and we still getting the SKEW T diagram from the 12th. Is there something we are missing?? Please let us know.

I can’t find a way to change it back to white background, is there a way?

It helps in weather forecasting and atmospheric research by collecting vertical profiles of the atmosphere.

But it appears to show only data on pressure levels. Which kills important vertical structures, especially inversions, In order to make quantitative use of this tool, I propose to use data on model level instead.

congratulation for the great job!
I wonder if it is possible to add , with LCL and CCL, also CAPE, CIN and some additional parameters as Lifted index, K index .
Thank you very much
