Interesting. WRF is the model that RASP uses - so surface winds should be similar. It would be nice to have higher level winds there, too, although since that's a sailing site this is probably not a priority for the people behind the site.

We use the WRF-ARW core for some regions, it's a solid model. Haven't considered higher level winds, are you a pilot/paraglider? :)
Glider pilot here. The website looks awesome! Thank you for it! If you guys could add winds at higher levels, it would really be useful for all kinds of sky sailors as well.
Yes, would be useful for paragliding.
love the design, shall be recommending it to my gliding club.

RASP is the gold standard of guessing in which direction you're going to land out today, but my god it is ugly.

yes please, high level winds also!
