BowEcho

BowEcho v0.34.2 This release adds a full sounding-correction workflow, faster warning inspection, broader European alert coverage, and substantial radar, satellite, WoFS, and placefile improvements. Sounding correction lab - Added a separate, resizable, non-destructive correction lab for editable model soundings. - Correct thermal, moisture, and wind profiles independently, with variable-specific depth, domain, and blend shapes, including draggable custom profiles. - Added visible QC for supersaturation, dry instability, invalid states, and wind-seam kinks, plus an optional reversible dry convective adjustment. - Sounding plots, parcels, hodographs, and diagnostics update immediately from the corrected profile; Reset original restores the untouched source. - Save fingerprint-bound projects, export CSV or SPC/SHARPpy RAW, import RAW soundings, and run deterministic batch experiments over up to four correction fields. Warnings and Alerts - Clicking warning polygons now opens compact geo-anchored cards with every warning at that point, including wind, hail, tornado/damage tags, expiry, issuing office, dismiss controls, and links to full details. - Added automatic warning-source selection: NWS for operational US radars and official MeteoAlarm Atom/CAP feeds for supported European radar countries, with manual source and country selection available. - MeteoAlarm warnings include severity-aware accents, full details, and official CAP links. The anonymous public feeds do not provide polygon geometry, so BowEcho presents them honestly as list/detail warnings without inventing map placement; historical timeline sync remains NWS-only. - SPC mesoscale-discussion map clicks now open Alerts directly, and official MD graphics can be opened in a larger scrollable viewer with Fit, 100%, and 10-400% zoom controls. Satellite and WoFS - Fixed cached GOES RGB composites bypassing the selected spacecraft or sector, which could produce convincing previews but empty map coverage. - Fixed inverse-grid indexing on very wide and antimeridian-crossing satellite domains so coverage remains reachable across the full frame. - Added Center on satellite coverage and clearer messages distinguishing an out-of-sector view from a transparent visible-light frame at night. - WoFS drapes now continue loading and syncing when the WoFS window is closed. - Added accurate ready/loading/unavailable/error states so stale or unvalidated frames are never labeled active. - Added a high-visibility mode that lifts low-alpha WoFS guidance without recoloring, repositioning, or filling transparent pixels. Downloaded placefiles - Added multi-file import for downloaded local placefiles, including .txt, uncommon extensions, and extensionless files. - Local sources persist in the Layers list and support the same enable, refresh, reload, and remove workflow as URL feeds. - Relative local sprite-sheet references resolve beside the placefile, with clearer load status and generation-safe refresh handling. Radar products and quality of life - Replaced abbreviation-heavy product chips with a categorized, full-name product browser covering base moments, velocity, volume/hail, dual-pol, precipitation, quality, texture, and simulation fields. - More products exposes the extended catalog; advanced sweep products compute lazily when selected, while KDP remains automatic when its source metadata are trustworthy. - Added one-click editing for the active radar product's color table under Custom > Appearance. - Added a sidebar collapse handle, direct Undo for workflow presets, and native-resolution sounding-board image capture. - Moved loop frame-count selection beside Load Loop for a clearer loading workflow. DWD radar - DWD now prefers quality-controlled polarimetric reflectivity, falls back through simpler filtered and raw variants when necessary, and enables available ZDR, RhoHV, and PhiDP moments by default. - Missing optional dual-pol products no longer prevent the base reflectivity/velocity volume from loading.
