        Great idea - but http://www.xcmeteo.net has been a much better display for some years (for paragliders), although unfortunately it comes from the GFS.
        Paragliders and other non-powered airplane pilots are mainly interested in how powerful the thermal will be, what will be available and where the cloud base will be - and it is hard to recognize from your charts. They need to see the chart in detail up to a maximum of 4000 - 5000 m. What temperature and wind will the 13,000 m be likely to be interested in transport aircraft pilots.

          Maybe there could be 2 versions of the chart up to 13000 m and 5000 m ...

            @krchnavy there is such detail, just use the zoom in lower right corner

                  Sounding is a diagram that shows the vertical distribution
                  of temperature, humidity and wind into the atmosphere.
                  Usually the observations are made by radiosondes
                  (instruments carried into the atmosphere by a weather balloon).

                  Weather models can give us forecast data of the same parameters
                  so we can prepare "forecast soundings".

                  Soundings are used by (glider) pilots to know thermals, winds aloft, icing forecast etc
                  and by meteorologists (and weather enthusiasts) for rain/snow forecast,
                  fog forecasting, turbulence, cloud bases/tops, thunderstorms etc

                    Excuse me, but how can I do select a diferent pressure levels?.

                      How do I open it? I can't seem to find it....
                      By the way, Airgram seems to be much faster now, great job!

                          Yes!
                          Pilots expect turbulence/icing forecasts,
                          farmers, soil temp. at varius depths and soil trafficability
                          mariners, sea/lake ice cover,
                          fighter pilots, absolute humidity (for targeting with IR weapons)
                          people with allergies, pollen forecasts
                          etc etc :-)

                              I'm guessing the two diagonal grey lines DALR and SALR ?

                                there is a high slider om the right side

                                  The moveable line showing altitude, wind speed, dewpoint and temperature is really useful but seems to be erratic or even random in it's behaviour, if you can get that right it will be perfect!

                                    This tool is great for basic assessment of the wind profile. It would become powerful if the data displayed on the chart could be exported at some resolution like 500'/1000' to feed physical models for, say, high-altitude balloon trajectory planning. Any possibility of such a function to be deployed?
