Soundings Mobile

About

Soundings turns the twice-daily balloon launches over the United States into something you can actually read — a proper Skew-T log-P, a hodograph, and the full convective parameter set, on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. THE SKEW-T, DONE RIGHT • Classic 45° Skew-T log-P: temperature, dewpoint, and the parcel trace • CAPE and CIN shaded on the chart and labeled where they occur • Wind barbs in their own gutter; LCL, LFC, and EL marked on the profile • Optional wet-bulb and virtual-temperature traces • Pinch or scroll to zoom, drag to pan, double-tap to reset PARCELS SIDE BY SIDE Surface-based, mixed-layer, and most-unstable parcels in one table — CAPE, CIN, LCL, LFC, EL, and lifted index — so you can see which one the atmosphere is really offering. Draw any of them on the chart, or none. WIND, SHEAR, AND STORM MODE The hodograph plots the wind profile with Bunkers left- and right-moving storm motion and shaded storm-relative helicity. Alongside it: the effective inflow layer, 0–1 km / 0–3 km / effective SRH, effective bulk shear, and the composites you actually reach for — SCP, STP, SHIP, derecho, EHI, and large hail. Every value is drawn against its operational thresholds, so a number means something at a glance. The math matches SHARPlib. THE WHOLE NETWORK, ON A MAP Browse every reporting site from Alaska to Puerto Rico on a map, or search by name. The map shows which stations made the current cycle, so you know what's up there before you tap. Star a station and it loads at launch. WATCH IT EVOLVE A station's recent launches appear as postage-stamp Skew-Ts — step back through the cycles to watch a cap build, a dryline mix out, or moisture return. FAMOUS SOUNDINGS Eleven of the atmosphere's most-studied days, one tap away: the 1974 Super Outbreak, Bridge Creek–Moore, April 27 2011, Joplin, Moore 2013, El Reno, Hurricane Ian's landfall and inland deluge, the Buffalo lake-effect storm, and more. YOUR OWN DATA Open Wyoming text, WMO TEMP (FM 35), or BUFR (FM 94) files straight from Fil or Finder — a research sounding, an archived launch, a case study — and get same chart and the same numbers. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN One app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with Imperial or SI units and adjustable text size.
