• Switch between models or runs independently of the main map
• Use advanced diagnostics such as Normand’s point and Fog point construction

Analyze key surface parameters over time with interactive, customizable timeseries charts.

• Click any location on the map to display its timeseries
• Add, hide, or remove parameters such as temperature, wind, visibility, or cloud base
• Zoom into specific time intervals for detailed inspection
• Set threshold lines to track when values reach critical levels
• View values from all displayed series in a single tooltip with cross-hair alignment
• Switch models or runs independently of the main map controls
• Support for deterministic and ensemble data, including box-and-whisker plots

Track and verify the movement of weather features with trajectory analysis, driven by forecast wind at selected pressure levels.

• Select a starting point on the map
• Adjust step duration (1 min–12 h) and step count (up to 12) for flexible time horizons
• Set custom start times or quickly reset to “Now”
• Switch model, run, or pressure level independently of the map layer
• Compare multiple trajectories from different levels, models, or runs
• Display multiple trajectories with different starting points to track separate features
• Drag starting points directly on the map for easy repositioning
• Overlay with radar data to validate precipitation or thunderstorm movement

View preconfigured meteograms (time cross-sections) from the connected Visual Weather server to analyze forecast or observation data at any map location.

• Click any point on the map to load a meteogram for that location
• Select from available cross-sections in the Time Cross-Sections box
• For forecast data: choose a different model run (latest run is shown by default)
• For observed data: adjust the start time of the meteogram
• For single-level parameters: pick a level (e.g. temperature at 2m); multi-level data is displayed with elevation on the Y-axis
• Open observation-based meteograms directly from the observation tooltip (if available)
• Switch stations by clicking a different observation plot on the map

Note: Not all parameters have cross-sections. Availability depends on what has been configured on the server.

Display horizontal cross-sections along custom-defined routes on the map. Routes are preconfigured as web services on the connected Visual Weather server.

• Open from the left toolbar to display the Routes dialog
• Select a route type in the Horizontal Cross-Section box (only preconfigured models are available)
• Click on the map to place route points and define your cross-section
• Modify the route:
  • Add point: Click another map location or directly on the route line
  • Move point: Drag an existing route point to a new position
  • Delete point: Right-click the point or remove it from the Coordinates list
• Adjust display settings:
  • Run: Select a model run (latest run is used by default)
  • Forecast time: Choose the forecast period
  • Elevation: If available, pick a level (for multi-level parameters, elevation is shown on the Y-axis)

Note: Cross-sections must be preconfigured for each model on the server. They cannot be changed interactively.

Spot Charts provide a tabular overview of 24-hour observations from selected stations (METAR, SYNOP, BUOY). They are useful for quickly checking recent values, trends, and full report texts.

Chart types

• Current Obs: Latest available reports (SYNOP, METAR, TAF).
• Last 24 METAR/SPECI: Most recent 12–24 METAR observations, depending on station frequency.
• Day Table: 24-hour history with 1-hour steps.
• Parameters: Key weather values from the last 24 observations.
• Reports: Text of the last 24 reports.
