A web app for visualizing RASP forecasts as seen on
This web app is a frontend for visualizing meteorological data obtained by running Dr. John W. "DrJack" Glendening's Regional Atmospheric Soaring Prediction (RASP) program. RASP is a set of numerical weather prediction tools which are specialized to produce detailed weather forecasts for glider pilots. To get started with RASP, check out the official website and the RASP forum.
Forecasts such as the ones on aufwin.de can be produced with assets contained in this repository.
If you want to use this viewer for your own RASP forecasts, change the variables in config.js to your needs.
Most importantly, adapt the server root to the location of your RASP results directory (containing the forecasts for different regions and days).
Note that this can be a mere subfolder or symbolic link (e.g. results).
Spin up a web server (e.g. with python -m http.server or php -S localhost:8000) and visit localhost:8000 (use the appropriate port) in your browser.
Then, in another terminal, execute npm run watch.
You can now do your programming and a javascript bundle will be built automatically on every change.
To bundle for production, run npm run build.
There are some python scripts in wsgi which generate useful analysis outputs such as cross sections or soundings dynamically from WRF output files.
To use them, you have to configure your web server accordingly.
Refer to the Readme in wsgi.
If you do not want to use this feature, comment out the corresponding buttons in the RASP control.
