Thermal weather for Gliders
-
Hi all,
would you know how to set up this app in order to get a quick view of thermal weather for gliding pilots?
Thanks

Can I add to this question?
Great service on Windy, awesome data and comparison possibilities.
For glider use/ forecasting, any chance to add a few more parameters?
CAPE is already there, but in my opinion not a good thermal predictor.Would it be possible to add one or several of (thermal gliding parameters):
- vertical wind speed
- Lifted Index
- Storm Helicity
- Thermal base (as suggested in another post)
- Boundary layer height (absolute and if possible also relative to ground)
- Sounding / Stueve for major points
I appreciat that this is a free service and much done in spare time.
Cannot speak for others, but I would be happy to pay a yearly subscription for this great source of weather forecast data.Many thanks,

Talking about ECMWF forecast products
I don't think that any of the above mentioned parameters are available
(EXEPT soundings).
In the latest newsletter (No. 156, page 37)
https://community.windy.com/topic/6333/ecmwf-newsletter-summer-2018
is mentioned that soundings are available.
Hope some day windy will add these diagrams.
