Jetstream and Polar Vortex data
-
Does anyone know if there are any plans to make a plugin featuring Jetstream data and Polar Vortex status? Would be really great to be able to monitor these as they determine alot of the winter weather for me here in the northern hemisphere.

Jet stream pattern is already available, you just need to select the Wind layer and to set the Altitude slider to 300hPa or 250hPa level. Specially if you use the 3D view from the pole on the browser version. No need for a new plugin.
Regarding the Polar Vortex status what do you mean exactly? Are talking about the Tropospheric Polar Vortex or the Stratospheric Polar Vortex?
I think showing the Geopotential height as a layer, would show perfectly the Tropospheric Polar Vortex at 500 hPa.
