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.

I have just seen that the webcams are online.
Thanks !

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.

@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.

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:

[

When using the pluginDataLoader to load airData for {lat: 43.976, lon: 6.483}

I got the following:

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 ?

@kekert You can use this script to extract the camera positions, url and azimuth. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

I'd love to see more info about the available data too.
May be the plugins repo on github would be a good place to add them ?

@CR check https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_free_convection

Check exemples 10 and 7 at https://github.com/windycom/windy-plugins

@matikru yes you still need to interpret what you see. In your screenshot the air is stable (converging lines that I mentioned in a previous message) + there seems to be stratus where the blue line is close to the red line below 1000m

@matikru

Mostly what I mean is that the rising air don't get as warm as the ground.

I think that rising air typically needs a few more degree than the surrounding air to rise.

@matikru The green line starts at air temperature + some constant (4 or 5C if I remember correctly).

Check a typical example:

You can see that the value of the constant usually doesn't matter that much for the days we are interested in. You have to remember that we look at a model which is an imperfect prediction plus the nature of the soil varies greatly inside a single cell of the model (cells are 9x9km for ECMWF).

In practice it works reasonably well. The air close to the ground doesn't usually get warmer as it would start rising.

If the cloud cover is thick it might be harder for the air temperature to become that warm.

If the temperature (red) and green line (parcel) slowly converge instead of being parallel, that could also be due to the poor resolution of the model (there are not that many points along the altitude axis).

Hope this helps.

You can use the plugins on mobile by visiting windy.com/plugins in your browser.

However for security reasons the plugins can not be loaded within the mobile app.

I was able to solve this using

The less mixins .mobile(), .desktop(), ...

The root scope variables isMobile, ...

Thanks for the nice feedback @rittels - and thanks for your help !

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.

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 ?

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:

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

fetch("https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2", {

You should try body: JSON.stringify(_data)
