      It seems like the windy sounding plugin has that hardcoded:

      u = ["ecmwf", "gfs", "icon", "iconD2", "iconEu", "bomAccess", "namConus", "namHawaii", "namAlaska", "hrrrAlaska", "hrrrConus", "ukv"]

      It would be nice if Windy gives more a little more consideration to plugin developers.

      During the migration to TS we had to ask for a way to be able to test the plugins.

      I have reported this query issue last September it nothing has been done since then - I think it would be an easy fix to make this.query available as it was before.

      Having a dev version (windy.com/dev) that is not in sync with windy.com does not help.

      It seems like some other changes are on the way. I hope windy can provide a way to test the updates before they are released.

      M

      @vicb What's wrong with using the arrow keys? Moving the pointer over the bar and scrolling is kind of awkward. Though the sideways scrolling (assuming it has no other use) could make a nice feature indeed.

      @vicb Creating plugin API and plugin sandboxing would solve this, but it is quite complex project with unsure result. Yes, javascript has an access to Cordova and Cordova has an access via its plugins to many native functions. iOS is quite safe, because user has to confirm (face id, password) any try to access his/her private data. Android, especially in some older versions, is totaly unsecured.

      I ask as I tried multiple ways but could not reproduce a time offset like your graphic displays.

      @vicb Hi, thank you for reporting! It seems that the data is not divided by the gravitational constant. We will fix it.

      I ended up loading detail-render instead and it fixed my issue.

      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", …}, {key: "37.365/-122.246", lat: 37.3650410873092, lon: -122.24594593048094, name: "Windy Hill", type: "fav", …}, {key: "34.492/-119.702", lat: 34.491843534372784, lon: -119.70239639282227, name: "Santa Barbara", type: "fav", …}, … ]

      @gkikas-lgpz
      The scale in the bottom right is an approximate scale that uses the standard height levels used in aviation like
      950hPa / 2 000ft / 600m
      850hPa / 5 000ft / 1500m
      700hPa / 10 000ft / 3000m
      300 hPa / 30 000 ft / 9000m
      etcc
      These are approximately equal and used for easy conversion between different unit. However they are not exact.
      In fact heights of pressure levels changes with different weather conditions. eg cooler temps have pressure levels closer to the ground as the air is denser.
      More info can be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Atmosphere

      Anyway the scale on the left is the model calculated height taking account of the meteo conditions (i think at least).
      I am pretty sure that the scale on the windy map on the right is the correct values at the "model pressure height" which is an approximate height in m or feet.

      @gkikas-lgpz said in Sounding Plugin - for paraglider pilots:

      ..... at lower levels
      ac6633de-53d2-412a-8258-f69850553780-εικόνα.png
      point "B" marks the temp. at 600 hPa (13800 ft, FL140)
      but the diagram shows 12000 ft (1800ft off).

    • vicb

      Could we have more pressure levels ? Cloud cover for those levels ?

      Thanks !

      I use the sfc temp +3 degree for now as an approx - probably too much in the morning or when the cloud cover is important.

      The surface temperature reported by the model does not seem to work better (I may want to give it an another try later).

      Does it answer your question or is the question more about the temperature gradient ?
