    • RE: New sounding with radiosonde measurements

      Edit: Sounding ground elevation seems wrong. The elevation here (Hemet High School) is ~1700 ft yet the bottom of the sounding is only 700 ft. This makes is really hard to use for soaring.

    • Add Cursor Temperature to Sounding (Skew-T) Chart

      This is a very simple add so I hope this doesn't get over looked. I love the sounding plots but there is a key piece of info missing from the 'hover cursor feature: The Temp AT the cursor. Currently it shows a BUNCH of great info but its missing the temperature right where the cursor is (or the temperature if you follow the constant temp lines down to the x-axis). This is vital for soaring pilots because it tells us how strong the thermals are (specifically its used to find the thermal index). Another way to think about this is: I want to quickly know where my cursor is on the x-axis (temperature), this is already done perfectly for the y-axis (altitude/pressure).

      I've drawn a few ideas for what this could look like, it'd be cool to just have the number but the line would be cool too!

      I do love all the information on there currently tho:

      • 61F: air temp at the cursor altitude
      • 73F: ground temp for an adiabatic parcel of air
      • 65F: Critical dew point for an adiabatic parcel of air

      Thanks for the consideration!
