          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?

                                        I am impressed by every new feature you implement but this outshines everything! Thank you very much for this tool!
                                        For optimal forecasting performance I would appreciate an option to change the diagram type from Stüve to Skew t-log p. In addition, dry and wet adiabatic lines would be very helpful for better estimating instability (see picture below for an example). Do you plan to add these options?
