Wind at altitude

[TrackCT]

I used to be able to set the altitude for Wind in the Web based version. Since the major upgrade I cannot find that this is not possible, or?
On iphone/ipad this feature is availible.

For seeing the wind aloft take the plane !

@idefix37 but we can't see the exact wind speeds (in kt), and the gusts? the report with numbers is only for ground surface right?
When I take the plane I can only see the map animation at various altitude, but not the exact wind speeds like on the ground.

In this screenshot you see the wind speed in kt at 500hPa level

w/customized wind color scale

Weather models compute Gusts only at ground level.

Could a graph be shown for wind at altitude (Not pressure) and zoomable to at max altitude like this website;

Weather models calculate the wind strength at pressure levels, not at real altitude.

Yes, so its very handy to have an app that converts that for you. As shown above.

Have you tried the “Upper winds” plugin ?
It interpolates levels and wind aloft
