Suggestion for automatic model switching
-
Naturally, the optimal model to choose will depend on the time frame considered. Using a fixed model is of limited use. For example, ICON D2 can be considered most reliable for short term forecasts, but it doesn‘t allow me to look beyond the next 48 hours. On the other hand, ECMWF is good for medium range forecasts, but I wouldn‘t use it for short term forecasts. Thus it is necessary to switch back and forth between at least two models, which is not convenient, since it involves two clicks plus scrolling.
Imagine if you could change the time freely and the app switches to the model best suited for the time frame automatically. This would be possible, if you could select a number preferred models and the app would switch to the model with the highest resolution available for the given time. Alternatively, preferred models could be arranged in an order to give the user the opportunity to define the priorization.

@Philipp-Hurdax Hello, thank you for your suggestion. It has been on our minds for some time, and we appreciate your insight. Currently, we are leaving it to the user to decide which forecasting model they would like to use. Have a nice day, Niki
