What this project has learned, written down so others can build on it. The audience is technically curious pilots and the engineers who build for them; the style is concrete numbers and honest caveats.

• How a windgram is computed

  A windgram is a time–height chart of a soaring day: hours across, altitude up, and at every intersection the wind, temperature, moisture, and derived lift a pilot cares about. This pipeline builds one per catalogued l…

• The model bestiary

  The windgram derivation is model-agnostic: give it nine surface fields, five fields on nine pressure levels, and a terrain height, and it produces the same profile shape regardless of where the numbers came from. What…

• Engineering the pipeline

  This project publishes fresh forecast profiles for every catalogued site, every model run, around the clock — and its total infrastructure is a public GitHub repository. No server, no database, no API keys, no bill. T…

• Where this goes next

  The pipeline so far reproduces one good idea faithfully: canadarasp's windgram, ported constant-for-constant, published openly. That parity was the right first move — pilots calibrate against the original, and trust i…
