Example of a Soaring Diagram.
Features
- Skew-T, Emagram and Tephigram sounding diagrams up to the 100 mb (hPa) level. Overlay a configurable mini-hodograph and a configurable variety of sounding and stability parameters.
- Decode & process 5 different data formats (including WMO Coded data, UWYO, BUFKIT, SHARP, and RAOB CSV data). WMO Ship and Dropsonde data can also be processed. The RAOB CSV data format is a universal format allowing processing of any sounding data. Plot high-density soundings (containing over 10,000 data levels).
- Process data files containing multiple soundings with a variable loop (movie) display feature.
- Analyze & display numerous sounding parameters & indices. Print or file information using 2 different data listings & display formats:
- Summary Listing (columnar listing of key data for all data levels).
- Interval Listing (user-specified pressure intervals -- temp & wind data).
- Has complete thermodynamic & storm indices calculations & displays. Graphically display basic sounding parameters (LCL, LFC, CCL, etc.)
- Use the Diagram Options screen (at right) to select from over 140 options. Customize your diagram with scaling, griding, color, and labeling options.
- Contains "source" and "raw" data editors for complete data editing flexibility. Filter high-density soundings to "standard" data levels. Also contains a convenient Station Locator file editor.
- Use a full-screen Soaring screen display for sailplane and hang-glider lift parameters. Quickly identifies Thermal Index, Trigger Temps, and key lift estimates.
- In addition to RAOB's extensive online Help Files, an optional User Manual is available.
