      @idefix37 I agree with all you said, including that I can cross-check the wind barbs. But why do you suppose the sounding forecast is showing me the wrong wind barbs, and why only sometimes? I will try to see under what circumstances this happens, but haven't noticed a pattern yet.

        Dear Windy team!
        Your sounding visualizations are great!

        In a month I am starting to teach atmospheric thermodynamics and plan to use your graphics.

        However, I am missing the output for water vapor mixing ratio values and isolines. Can those be visualized?

        Thanks!

          The tool is really great! Exactly what I need for a more precise forecast for gliding! One little remark: in the forecast mode I am not sure about the time considered; a remark on that would be of great help too. Other wise just perfect. Congratulation!
          Regards Rudolf

            Edit: Sounding ground elevation seems wrong. The elevation here (Hemet High School) is ~1700 ft yet the bottom of the sounding is only 700 ft. This makes is really hard to use for soaring.

                Would love to get a second Y scale with altitudes.

                  Hi there

                  Just wondering where the actual (not forecast) soundings have gone.

                  They seem to be missing over the last several days.

                  Thanks in advance.

                  Keep up the great work!

                    Radiosonde measurement is still available. Click on the 3 dots (More options…)
                    Here is the radiosonde measurement in Payern, Switzerland.

                    You can pin this option if you need.

                        Hi,

                        Thank you so much for the tool?

                        Would it be possible to always plot the lifted parcel curve based off the forecast sfc dew point and temperature please?

                        Cheers,
                        Rick

                          Nice tool that is more informative than that on NWS web page. I'm curious what the switch does. Dry / wet lapse rates?

                            The switch turns the sounding diagram in a "skew-T" form.
                            That means that isotherms (constant temperature lines) are “skewed” to the right as they go up in altitude.
                            For a tutorial on "skew-T diagram",
                            read https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/convective_parameters/skewt/skewtinfo.html

                              Hola,! La raya intermitente es la adiabatica seca verdad? y la recta la húmeda?No hablo de la temperatura ni punto de rocío. Gracias espero una respuesta.

                                I really like the tool! It would be nice to include the higher altitude data as well...as high as you have data.

                                  The forecast Skew T addition for any point on the map is fantastic. All it needs is a time stamp, and/or better still, if the user could choose a time that its valid for.

                                          @Meteo-Maresme-Meteorológia-catalana said in New sounding with radiosonde measurements:

                                          La raya intermitente es la adiabatica seca verdad?

                                          La línea verde discontinua en la zona inferior es la adiabática seca, en la zona superior, donde está el pliegue, es la adiabática húmeda.

                                            In the mobile application, the real time sounding is not anymore accessible, only the models are showing up. This seems an error as the scrolling down - like in the browser version - is not posible in the android version.
