Soundings Mobile

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
