@korina said in Windy.com introduces soaring forecast:

@polachp Hello, as mentioned in the reply, we would like to keep the technical details to ourselves at the moment.

Sorry , I haven't noticed the direct response about details. Thank you for your answer.

@filip_k Hello, Korina forwared me to you so:
Can you share some details about how this layer is computed?
We, soaring pilots usually keen to know at least some technical details to judge error margin and other factors not included in computation. (morning inversion, fog, humidity, rain several day before flight day etc).

I was trying to use this feature this season and I am looking into it right now as my friends are flying in Australia. Cloudbase though seems world wide overly optimistic (even during EU summer time). Without deeper knowledge its hard to help you tune the layer so other pilots can reliably use it.

I am active pilot, keen to help you if you wish.
