Sounding Analysis

Open OmniFS opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

Would it be possible to add a tab or box or anything that would allow users to view the latest (and maybe historical) sounding analysis for each observation site within the software? It's one feature I haven't seen many, if any software contain except the mobile app Wx and a plugin for Windy I'm hearing about.

I see a few different ways this could be implemented:

  • Import existing library into Supercell Wx (note these libraries are typically large, and may take tens of seconds to generate)
    • SounderPy
    • SHARPpy
    • Other? Preferably a native C/C++ library
  • Point to existing application above installed on user's system
  • Port existing library to C/C++ for use in Supercell Wx
    • This is preferred over importing a Python runtime
  • Utilize existing web service to retrieve soundings (does one with a public-facing interface exist?)
  • Implement new web service to retrieve soundings
    • Could cache latest soundings
    • Historical soundings created on-demand

SPC posts latest observed soundings. This should be easy to retrieve.

There is a new C++ library available: https://github.com/keltonhalbert/SHARPlib
