Sondewatch: Balloon Tracker

WEATHER BALLOON TRACKER

Live weather balloon tracker. Every radiosonde and amateur balloon near you from SondeHub's open network, with landing predictions, flight and atmosphere charts, launch schedules and a Nearest Landing widget. Native on iPad in every orientation, with an optional sidebar, and ready for iPhone Duo in every pose.

Weather balloon tracker app for iPhone and iPad. Every radiosonde and amateur high-altitude balloon near you, live from SondeHub's volunteer receiver network, coloured by flight phase with its track, predicted path and landing point. Distance, bearing and elevation from where you stand, a compass arrow, the radio horizon and the transmit frequency for scanner listeners. Burst height and time, landing time, and charts of temperature, dew point and wind by height, with the freezing level and tropopause from each ascent. Launch sites with schedules in local time and reminders, Chase Mode alerts as you close on a landing, a log of recovered finds, and a Nearest Landing widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Runs natively on iPad in every orientation, with an optional sidebar in place of the tab bar and the balloon list beside its detail, and is ready for iPhone Duo, keeping the map, list and detail clear of the tab bar at the side of the outer display and in inner landscape. No account and no tracking. Built for sonde hunters, radio listeners and weather watchers.
