Help running a new plugin - error on the Windy plugin page

@rittels Sure, though I'd say nearest neighbour is plenty for now! Vertically there is some interpolation going on in the js, and horizontally, ECMWF's 9km is loads of detail :) Would definitely be a nice addition for later.

Hi John
Nearest neighbor is indeed plenty!!
However, you can use the W.interpolator to read data at the different levels. It is slow and cumbersome, but somewhat cute.
I gave it a go myself: windy-plugin-readlevels. -

Do not worry I will make dataLoader, so far I am finishing one big thing on Windy
-
@ivo Thx!!
-
@ivo great to see the plugin loader is ready for model data. I'll look into updating the skewt plugin when I get a chance (bit busy at the moment though).
There was a bug in my plugin that showed the error "TypeError: Plugin.instance is not a function" and you fixed this. Can you remember what the bug was? I'll need to patch in the fix to my original version.

@johnckealy It was bug on our side

@ivo hi can some one explain what the red line on the temperature is?- thanks
-
-
The red line is a parcel ascent. Drag the purple slider to the right, and this will change. The concept is that as the surface temperature increases, the energy of a rising parcel of also increases (known as CAPE). By comparing the red curve with the existing temperature profile, you can diagnose the instability (likelihood of showers, thunderstorms etc) of the atmosphere. In theory, you can even use this to predict the exact onset times of convective clouds, or even afternoon thunderstorms. Just google "radiosonde parcel ascent", "convective available potential energy", or "lifted index" to get started.

thanks for the explanation
- much appreciated

@johnckealy many thanks for the explanation- much appreciated.
