Metar vs Adiabat

Visualized METAR and TAF weather information for all airports in the world. Concise summary of everything you need to know about today's aviation weather. METAR features: - Visualized in easy to understand and colourful metrics - Weather symbols for significant weather and clouds, like in a non-aviation weather report - Crosswind calculations, by combining METAR and runway information - Flight rules category: VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR - Read out by text-to-speech available, listen to a decoded METAR while doing other things TAF features: - TAF broken down and displayed per hour in a table - Show sunrise/sunset, minimum and maximum temperature Keeping track: - Add your favorite stations to the list, see their weather at a glance - Get observations near your location - Find stations in the interactive map with weather codes - Search airports by ICAO code or name History: - Graphs with weather trends today and yesterday: temperature, visibility, wind speed, QNH - METAR history for the last hours and link to more on the website Airport information: - See information about the airports, like runway directions, elevation, location - If the airport doesn't report a METAR, the nearest station used for calculations Calculations: - All units are customizable units: speed (knots, km/h, m/s, mph), altitude (meters/feet), visibility (kilometers/miles), temperature (Celcius/Fahrenheit) and air pressure (Hectopascal, Inch Hg) - Times are converted to the local time for each airport - Sunrise and sunset are calculated based on the airports latitude/longitude General: - METAR, TAF and airport data are automatically saved for offline use - Available in 6 languages: English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French

Adiabat reads weather-balloon soundings on iPhone and iPad: a full Skew-T log-P diagram, parcel analysis, severe-weather parameters and a hodograph, all computed on your device. One purchase, no subscription, no account. NEW IN 3.0 • Severe-weather composites: fixed-layer Significant Tornado Parameter (STP), Significant Hail Parameter (SHIP), SWEAT and the Showalter index, using the published SPC, Miller (1972) and Showalter (1953) definitions. • Downdraft and convection values: DCAPE, wet-bulb zero height, convective condensation level and convective temperature. • PDF report: save the Skew-T, every parcel and index value, the layer diagnostics and the full level table as a printable PDF. • More accurate parcels: the level of free convection is found correctly when a parcel is buoyant right at its LCL, CAPE and CIN are split exactly at zero-buoyancy crossings, and the lifted index is taken at exactly 500 hPa. Storm motion follows Bunkers et al. (2000). • Checked against published values: for the bundled Norman, Oklahoma soundings, the Showalter index, K-index, Total Totals, precipitable water, MUCAPE, DCAPE and convective temperature agree closely with the University of Wyoming's published sounding indices. • Import fixes: University of Wyoming tables with blank columns or wind speeds in m/s (SPED) are now read correctly. • Clearer hazards: possible-icing layers, near-saturated layers and above-freezing layers aloft are shown without invented severity or cloud-cover labels. SKEW-T AND PARCELS Temperature, dewpoint, dry and moist adiabats, mixing-ratio lines, wind barbs and the lifted parcel with CAPE/CIN shading. Surface-based, mixed-layer and most-unstable parcels with CAPE, CIN, LCL, LFC, EL and lifted index. WIND AND STORM MOTION Hodograph coloured by height, Bunkers right and left movers, 0–1 and 0–6 km shear, 0–1 and 0–3 km storm-relative helicity and EHI. YOUR OWN SOUNDINGS Import University of Wyoming text tables, CSV/TSV or JSON, or build and edit a profile level by level. Profile Compare places two saved soundings on a common 25 hPa grid and exports a CSV. ALSO INCLUDED A 75,000+ station locator, offline terrain cross-sections, a reference library explaining every index, and seven real sample soundings from NOAA's Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA v2). WHAT TO KNOW Adiabat analyses the soundings you import or enter plus the bundled samples; it does not download live data. Results are educational diagnostics from a single profile, not forecasts, watches or warnings. Use official weather and aviation products for decisions. iPhone and iPad. No account and no tracking; your soundings stay on your device.
