Cross-section
meteoblue AIR Cross-sections show a vertical cut through the atmosphere. The standard cross-sections have 2 directions:
- North-South,
- West-East.
The selected place you have chosen is in the center, where both directions cross. The size of the cross-sections can be set using the distance from the center (in "degree") and you can select the starting time.
The cross-section is available for clouds and temperature, by clicking on the different tabs above the diagram.
