    • Sounding Plugin - for paraglider pilots

      I have created a plugin to display soundings for paraglider pilots.

      You can try it by installing windy-plugin-sounding.

      It's still in early stages - feedback welcome.

      Thanks to John C. Kealy - I borrowed some code from his skewt plugin.

    • RE: Sounding Plugin - for paraglider pilots

      The plugin now works better on mobile and tablets.

      As a reminder plugins do not work on the installed mobile apps but you can use them by loading windy in a web browser on your mobile or tablet.

      Visit https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-sounding to load the plugin on a mobile device.

    • RE: Windy offers Sounding Forecast

      @ekostogorov @TZ my plugin (windy-plugin-sounding) does support skewT (uncheck the "zoom view" checkbox at the bottom). It can be loaded on mobile by visiting windy.com/plugin however it does not well yet because I need to adapt the size to mobile screen.

      It should probably not take too long to do but I have deferred for now that since loading plugins on mobile (especially in the app) is not well supported.

    • RE: Is there a way to retrieve user's favorite locations

      Thanks @ivo

      So the "better" way to retrieve favorites is

      import favs from "@windy/favs"; 
      // or
      // var favs = W.require('favs');
      

      Then

      favs.getAll();
      

      returns:

      { 
        "34.492/-119.702": {key: "34.492/-119.702", lat: 34.491843, lon: -119.702396, name: "Santa Barbara", type: "fav", …},
        "36.768/-119.098": {key: "36.768/-119.098", lat: 36.768385, lon: -119.097719, name: "Dunlap", type: "fav", …},
        …
      }
      

      and

      favs.getArray();
      

      returns:

      [
        {key: "37.514/-121.882", lat: 37.513810842731, lon: -121.88215255737303, name: "Mission Peak", type: "fav", …},

      The values are way off (ie gh-900 should be a little below 1000m).
      It look like they are off by a factor of 10 ?

    • RE: Sounding Plugin - for paraglider pilots

      The plugin now works better on mobile and tablets.

      As a reminder plugins do not work on the installed mobile apps but you can use them by loading windy in a web browser on your mobile or tablet.

      Visit https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-sounding to load the plugin on a mobile device.

    • RE: What conditions hide the timeline on mobiles ?

      It seems like the culprit is this CSS:

      .onwindy-plugin-sounding {
        .left-border {
          left: @width;
        }
      }
      

      The thing is that I want to display the plugin in the left pane on desktops and tablets and in a window on mobile.

      I am not sure if there is a built-in way to do that ?

      There is not consistent class applied to the body. It could be platform-desktop, platform-ios, platform-android, ... but I haven't found a way to detect mobile vs not mobile using the class applied to the body.

      If it doesn't exist, I'll add a custom class.

      Anybody knows more ?

    • What conditions hide the timeline on mobiles ?

      Hi there,

      I am trying to adapt the sounding plugin to work on mobile. One problem that I have is that the timeline at the bottom of the disappear when the plugin is opened:

      ccf4b32e-9f4d-431a-8b51-c63d943c5c08-image.png

      When I open the built-in soundings, the timeline does not get hidden.

      Could someone please explain what are the conditions to show/hide the timeline ?

      Thanks

    • RE: Maximum altitude of the thermal (Potential of height of the Thermal - Mixed Layer Height)

      Thanks @Korina

      I sent those info to Marek:

      It seems like the parameter we are looking for is HPBL (see https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/gfs/gfs.t00z.sfluxgrbf00.grib2.shtml variable #109) and some description of the Boundary layer in https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/web/gfs/documentation section 1.2.2
      It's not exactly clear to me if this parameter HPBL is part of the GFS variables.

      ECMWF seems to have it too: https://apps.ecmwf.int/codes/grib/param-db?id=260083
