      I’m a fan of windy, I’m astonished of so many parameters windy can give, I know many data come from GFS model, but ncep only has dew point at 2m above ground, I wonder where does this isobaric levels dew point data come from?

        From the model.
        Wx. models provide data (temp., rel.hum., d.p. etc) in many levels.

              @Gkikas-LGPZ i'm guessing, their dew point data is calculated by specific humidity and temperature? using Tetens Formula?

                  @木-阿-2 Hi, yes dew point is calculated where it is missing. And the same for relative humidity.
                  Sources for calculation:
                  [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point
                  [2] https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/86/2/bams-86-2-225.xml
