No Model Elevation from AROME????
-
It seems that the forecast data as returned from getMeteogramForecastData() does not include the model elevation for the AROME and AROME-HD models. This spoils the Sounding Forecast and anything else that wants to use the same data.
Is there a reason for this? Where has this information been lost? I.e. by Windy.com or before the data is supplied to Windy.com? It would be very good to have this corrected especially as AROME-HD is such high resolution.

AROME-HD 1.3km does not provide elevation data.
AROME 2.5km yes. -
@idefix37 Thank you for your reply.
Am I missing something? For all the other models (that I have looked at) the actual elevation is returned in the header here:
meteogramForecast.data.header.elevation;and the model elevation here:
meteogramForecast.data.header.modelElevation;As far as I can see model elevation is not given in this location for either AROME-HD (1.3km) or AROME (2.5km). And in both cases model elevation is shown as NaN in the Sounding Forecast pane.
Are you saying that model elevation is made available in some other place in the case of AROME (2.5km)? If so please let me know where I can find it?
-
@idefix37 I've done some searching. I find that getPointForecastData() gives me the surface pressure for AROME (2.5km) but not for AROME-HD (1.3km). So in the sense that I can calculate the surface elevation from the surface pressure in the 2.5km case what you say is correct. Is this what you meant? It does strike me as very odd. Can there really be any good reason for not supplying model elevation directly in both cases? (I'm interested in boundary layer thickness and lifting condensation level so as it stands AROME-HD is pretty useless to me if I cannot get hold of model elevation)

@tomA27
What I meant is that Météo-France does not provide altitude data for AROME-HD 1.3 km. This model does not calculate altitude data.
Concerning AROME 2.5 km, I do not know why the data you are looking for is missing. -
@idefix37 Thank you again.
