Remarkable web app displaying winds, etc.

Looks pretty similar to
http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa which has been
around a while. Certainly very useful when comparing to the corresponding
synoptic chart.

You were asking what RASP can do and looking at the UK on the above site,
so have a look at this:

http://rasp.inn.leedsmet.ac.uk/RASPtableGM9/RASPtableGM.html

...but it can take time to get to grips with what it can do: it lets you
look at 5 days worth of hourly data plots which cover the daylight hours.
For each hour you can choose among 11 different parameters (short form)
or 40 (long form). These count soundings as one parameter, but within
that there are 15 locations to choose from. The number crunching stuff on
the server is pretty standard world-wide and developed by Dr J
Glendinning, an American Met man, but the display tool I linked to was
developed, AFAIK, at Leeds University, UK.

These are great!

What are the best sites for predicting wave conditions?

I use the Skew T chart available on XCSkies. I also look out the
window. I see lennies today, but my glider is out of service while I
work on the instrument panel.

It works much better on mobile device than nullschool. Thanks!
