      Observations vs Forecast is broken -- at least for me?!

      @mrpetewx A) Select Reported Wind and a model. Most stations disappear (ie almost ALL) Even though they have plenty of wind reporting. Stations not reporting a current non-zero windspeed disappear. BUG? CANNOT select a time frame No comparison(s) show up Much preferred the UI where all models are graphed. Oh well. Selecting Reported wind I get these weather stations in Colorado. [image: 1768035158544-b57b3182-38d2-45f1-b2fd-dc4e9aca3af1-resized.jpeg] You said “most disappear”… compared to what number ? Selecting Reported temperature display the same weather stations. Then you just need to select a weather station and Observation vs forecast. [image: 1768035374577-67301774-4e7a-49b0-aa29-a033253e4a39-resized.jpeg] By the way, since the 2019 article you are referring to, the way this feature is used has changed.

      @mrpetewx Hi, there is no plan to add this visualization.
    • mrpetewxM

      Please at least change the ECMWF summary text

      @mrpetewx Let's take an example here in Europe. Today the skies were clear over the Alps, making it possible to see where the snow still remains on the ground. The Satellite layer shows snow on the Alps mountains and a small amount on the Jura mountain. This mountain range northwest of Geneva is not very high. (Its name gave the word “Jurassic” known as a geological period https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic … and a famous movie :)) [image: 1710437343759-04567c99-04e0-4822-8839-7a4fa8e197b4.jpeg] A webcam confirms that the summits are still covered in snow. [image: 1710679473246-5f3b03b2-f04a-40a6-88e5-5001b77eb097.jpeg] What do the different models show about the snow depth layer? ICON 13km sees no snow on the Jura. Very inaccurate on the Alps compared to the satellite image. [image: 1710437933095-80cfbd5f-9fbd-4197-ab67-6262b4a82340.jpeg] ECMWF 9 km sees some snow on the Jura but not correctly placed. And always coarse on the Alps. [image: 1710438151693-ae111e81-239d-49b9-bbc1-9300aac1aee5.jpeg] The best forecast is made by ICON-D2 with its high resolution of 2km. It really highlights the snow at the top of the Jura range. And also with more granularity on the Alps compared to the satellite image. [image: 1710444581560-65fb68be-dcfc-4bf4-9c8f-46074f065744.jpeg] Conclusion In mountain this Snow depth layer is only really useful with a high resolution model.

      @mrpetewx I discussed this with the colleagues and, at this moment, we shouldn't have any limitations for this.

      API key unstable, maybe that explains station instability?

      I just confirmed the hard way. Both guesses are correct. When you click "show key",a new key is generated, and the existing key is no longer valid.

      Embed sample easily goes unstable (redraws forever)

      @Korina THANK YOU for the rapid response! I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you... lots of Real Life stuff. Of course I understood about turning on spot forecast. That's part of my report. I've played with this a bit more now. While it does not redraw "forever", it easily redraws a LOT more than 2-3 times. Depending on the situation, I have now seen it take 10-20 redraws before it stops. Not sure what's going on: some of the redraws seem to move the map center. Many do not. Clearly it's attempting to put the current spot in the visible map. My thought: perhaps it should NOT redraw or auto-recenter at all in the builder? After all, the user is most likely scrolling and zooming to choose the place for their desired spot :)

      @mrpetewx Hi, I can forward the suggestion to colleagues and we are planning certain updates for this feature. However, I can't promise anything.

      @mrpetewx Embeds support only Pressure isolines at this moment.
