Feedback/Questions about Soundings feature

[wdpalmer]

Hi - thanks very much for this new feature!

Comments:

• I like the display of air temp and dew point
• I like the ability to select a particular altitude with the cursor
• I like how there are two ranges of altitudes

Questions:

• what do the two grey lines represent?
• if the diagram is a forecast, what is the date/time range of the forecast?

Thanks much,

BP

Please, can anyone tell me how I can start the new sounding forecast plug-in?
I can't find it within Windy.

Thanks! Mario

Right click with mouse or long tap with touchscreen on your selected point on map.

Hi - the Sounding pop-out is great, but here are some suggestions for improvement.
This is what I get when I open the pop-out. It is sometimes partially hidden behind the weather window

I think the pop-out should be in front of everything.

The second item is the handle for moving the horizontal line, at the moment I have found by trial and error that it is sometimes about one third of the pop-out window's height below the actual line, but then there are times when it behaves , randomly. If I left click in the pop-out the horizontal bar will move up, down, or disappear.
I am seeing the website through Firefox run by Ubuntu.

If the sounding window is partially hidden by the meteogram, just drag the map upward and the sounding window will follow.

Then when you click on the sounding window, a horizontal bar appears. It gives temperature and wind figures at a chosen level. You can click on this bar itself and drag it at the level you want. If you drag it below the horizontal axis, it disappears.
Personally I do not see the need to improve this feature.

To me it seems, that it's rather three grey lines:

• The saturation ratio (connecting the dew point on ground level with the red line)
• The dry adiabate (from ground level to the point where the saturation ratio line reaches the redline
• And the moist adiabate (continuing from the red line)

Is that correct?
