New sounding with radiosonde measurements
-
The tool itself is very nice. 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.
-
New sounding with radiosonde measurements provides real-time data on atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. It helps in weather forecasting and atmospheric research by collecting vertical profiles of the atmosphere.

I love the soundings, but mine have changed to a black background which makes the various lines invisible. I can’t find a way to change it back to white background, is there a way?

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.

First of all, I want to say thank you so much for this great feature!
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:.
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.

@APfeiffer
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 ?
-
Please please please let us have the option of light background again. The dark background is so much worse to read.
-
@DMByass Hello, thank you for your suggestion. 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

Hi just noticed an error with the name on one of the sounding sites.
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.
-
Please can someone suggest a good source for tutorials for interpretting the skew T charts ?
thank you and kind regards

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. -
What a great tool! Would it be possible to add in a CAPE value also?
-
@bizhertzberg Hi, thanks for the suggestion. 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

Dear Windy Team,
I will appreciate so much if clouds simbols were added when moving temperature selector.
Many Thanks in Advance,

There is still a problem with scrolling the sounding chart in 47.1.3 on a Mac Sequoia. 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

@Robert-Hawley Hello, it will be fixed in the version 48. Our devteam is already aware of this.

Hallo, ich habe eine Frage. 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?
-
@marekd manca il riferimento orario a cui si riferisce il sondaggio, che è essenziale.

Funciona muy bien, practica y con buena estimacion en cuanto al viento en la zona de cordillera centeral en mi caso.
