Feature improvement / request: "Wind Forecast" wind barbs to update with altitude slider
-
Hello,
As the program is now, if you select a location -> view forecast -> wind forecast it will show the wind barbs for that location comparing all relevant weather models. All around the map you can also see the wind forecast for each city.
If you slide the "altitude slider" and increase altidude, the value at each city will update, but the wind barbs for each model at your selected location will still display surface wind values.
It would be great if these barbs updated with the slider so one could also quickly compare different weather models at a specific altitude.
For example: The image below shows wind barbs varing from 1-4 knots. The altitude slider is at 300 hPa and the wind at this altidude is 40-50 knots above the surrounding areas. I am suggesting to update the wind barbs with the altitude slider - so in this case one would expect the barbs to also read about 40 - 50 knots (and coming from the West).
Thanks for your time!

@drudolf Hi, thank you for this suggestion. Regarding this, you are right that data from the forecast detail are taken only without the altitude change. However, this change is a huge project which is not planned in the nearest future.
I will mention that idea on the next meeting.
