    • RE: Model grid

      So the short answer is that we cannot get a layer that shows the model grid because the information is not available to Windy. Too bad, but can't argue about that.

      But the long answer is fascinating. On the graphics that you provided we can see that the model grid can be projected on a theoritical globe at sea level (there is surely a proper name for it). Ground location could also be projected on the same theoretical globe (which is probably what a road map is), so it would be possible to create a layer if the model grid nodes are fixed in space. But I now suspect that the model grid nodes are placed on axes measured in pressure units and or other physical variables. And that would make my request impractical.

    • RE: Model grid

      @idefix37
      Agreed, as expected.

      But is there a possibility to show the grid of the model being used so that the user can weigh the amount of faith to put into each model for the particular location under investigation?

    • Model grid

      Different models have different grid size and the forecast is influenced by the grid size. This is relevant if the location is near a large body of water, a change of altitude or even simply near a large built area.

      In that respect it would be useful to have a layer that shows the grid of the model in use to help interpret the forecast.

      Or maybe the grids are already centered on the location under inquiry but I'd be surprised if it was the case.

      Thanks
