![]() To help understand if the RASP forecast is matching the real world, an experimental script has been put together that will compare a RASP 'spot' forecast against a METAR observation (a real-world airfield met observation). These observations are produced hourly or so. The following table is a summary for the UK, using the script outlined below the table and map. The table is produced from 09:00 to 18:00 on the hour and every half hour during UK daylight hours. A spatial map of the reports can be found here. The following plot will show a running view of the percentage of measures as correct between the forecast and the RASP prediction. Normally for the whole of the UK, 85% or higher indicates RASP is close enough and can be relied upon. This report: 12:42:05 08/12/2019 for this map view. This run created in 63.65 secs
The script is a bit slow, so sometimes the results may not be available as an auto-generated static view. If this happens, click here to dynamically re-generate the table as a separate page. If there is a problem with the output, click here to get a copy of the last generated text table. Regional Atmospheric Soaring Prediction
