      Hi
      As a suggestion to improve the readability of your charrts in orographic terrain e.g. the alps, you could filter out the color display if a wind value lies "inside" a mountain. See here:

      compared to:
      2daa18a1-434e-4f6b-b23f-e61450f02402-grafik.png

      The visibility of the Föhn (Sout-North-Wind in the valleys) would be much more distinctive.

        Hi,
        You can change yourself the color scale of Wind.
        Go to Settings -> Customize color scale.
        See for more details:

        BTW this color scale showing wind speed has nothing to do with the Orographic Model which is the way how the Weather Model is smoothing the terrain.
