windy-plugin-skewt now running with ECMWF data

@vicb yes I was referring to you. Definitely let's chat soon, it would be good to avoid overlap. How do I load the plugin? I can't find it anywhere in the menu (Same problem you had haha).
-
I was using 0.2.5 and will now switch over 0.2.6.
Thx for your work from a fellow meteorologist!
-
@johnckealy right click anywhere on the map and select (the bottom most item) "Better sounding"

@vicb said in windy-plugin-skewt now running with ECMWF data:
Hi @johnckealy,
Is it possible for you to change the positioning of the Skewt window? In the current setup, the far bottom section of the Skewt window is covered by the meteogram display (as shown below).
Are you able to shift the Skewt window up so it fits just below the station search window? I am hoping this will uncovered the base of the Skewt plot when also displaying the meteogram plot.
Thanks

Hey @stitch, sorry to be so neglectful of updates! I'm super busy with a research job at the New Zealand MetService right now, but that'll be over in 2 weeks and I plan to get back to some dev work. I can see the issue you mention when I use chrome, but hadn't noticed it before since I use firefox for dev. I'll see what I can do, gotta learn about cross-browser compatibility sometime :) I want to add an option to zoom the skewT near the surface too. Thanks for the heads up, I'll post here when I push the next version.
-
Thx John, when you get some time....no urgency
-
@stitch sorry it took so long, but I've added that fix you asked for, the one relating to the forecast obscuring the skewt. It wasn't as elegant as I'd hoped, I just made it smaller! However, I've now also added a zoom function for the lower part of the sounding. :)
-
Thx John....I have been using your plugin today at work and utilised the Zoom function (worked well for analysing the boundary layer etc) and also how the mouse over the SkewT now represents the right hpa level (and T/Td/wind data).
Well done on being included into the development team. Windy has really taken a big leap forward all thanks to yours and the other guys development.
Much appreciated.
PS: If you are looking at any further additions to the SkewT plugin....is it possible to add a manually manipulated parcel trace (like the feature in your tephigram program)? That is, being able to slide the sfc temp point to give a projected parcel trace overlay on the forecast SkewT trace.
Again, well done. Thx
-
@stitch It would've been cool to make a parcel ascent... the issue was that the skewt is transparent, so I'm not sure how to make parts of it clickable. Hopefully I'll figure it out someday!
-
what you have in place works fine (happy days!!!).....just need to go back to old school and picture that parcel ascent.
Cheers
