@johnckealy have you seen https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/01/using-machine-learning-to-nowcast.html ?

@mhaberler Thanks for the feedback Michael.

1. Making the plugin better on mobile is something I plan to work on. Only a few users know that you can load plugins on mobiles so it was not high priority.

2. Could you elaborate more on favorites, why is your use case usage ? One thing I was thinking about is to display only the 5/10 favorite spots closest to the current location to save screen real estate. However I ended up having < 15 favorites and haven't found it to be inconvenient. There is probably room for improvement here - we only need to find a good way.

3. What would be the use to see below ground ? AFAIR it seems like some models do not have sensible values below ground level.

The intersection between the green and red lines is the top of thermals (1900ft on the screenshot) - that's how high glider pilots can expect to reach when flying.

The cursor is supposed to show the altitude - 68900 should be 21000(ft) but there was a bug with imperial units that I just fixed in 1.1.6. Thanks for reporting !

@davink There are 2 plugins for that:

• "SkewT diagram" and
• "Sounding" (by default scales are tailored for free flight but you can see a skewT LogP by unchecking the "zoom view" box at the bottom.

Go to windy.com/plugins to load the plugins (you have to reload them each time you visit the site).

Hope this helps

I would love to see plugin on mobile app & web too !

Thanks for sharing !

I use u & v interpolations.

There is one gotcha when you do angle interpolation wrt to wrapping: avg(310, 50) is 0 not 360 / 2.

That's probably something we can try.

The thing is that different model report different things.
I think that EC has all of model elevation, actual elevation and sfc temp while GFS only has actual? elevation.

I have chosen to use the model elevation when available because what's below probably do not make a lot of sense ?
