Cloud Height Graphic v2.1

[arthurhh]

So long as gust is in the clientraw file find the data number for it and change the number in the data statement here
  $wind    = $data[1];      // in kts which I believe is data item 2 so
$wind =$data[2];   // wind gust in kts

If I have it correct that should do it

[Bashy]

Excellent, thank you, that works great

Hi Bashy,
I grabed your "ajaxWDwx.js" javascript and have added the cloud height snipped to it.
I've tested it and it updates the dashboard just fine.
The placement of the snipped was important in that it needed some of the other variables in the script.
I now redeclare those that are needed for the cloud height graphic update.
Below is your "ajaxWDwx.js" javascript with the additions for the cloud height graphic.
I think it's the standard javascript from Saratoga ... I could not see any changes you've made.

PS: This snipped will update the graphic if there are any changes in
altitude, temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, wind direction and rain.
If you don't need them all then just delete those not required from the buster section.
+ '&buster=' + altitude + pres + wind + wdir + rain;

Grab the "ajaxWDwx.js" below.

I have moved the files to a seperate directory on the server but now I get this

http://www.weybourneweather.co.uk/cloud%20graphic/cloud-base.php?uom=M&html=1&test=1
http://www.weybourneweather.co.uk/cloud%20graphic/cloud-base.php?uom=M&html=1

I am not using METAR

Hi Phil,
For some or other reason your server creates the "cb.jpeg" file as a folder i.e. "cb.jpeg/".
Have a look here: http://www.weybourneweather.co.uk/cloud%20graphic/

Sorry, I can't help you with this one.
Has anyone on this forum got an answer to this one please?

Added: Without the "?html=1" it streams just fine ... no problem there.

Now with cloud temperature 
Update for v1.9 below.

[Bashy]

Hi Rainer, How is the cloud temp worked out? Is it that every 100m you climb you loose 1C?

Hi Rainer, How is the cloud temp worked out? Is it that every 100m you climb you loose 1C?

Here's how it's calculated:
1) the air temperature drops 9.84°C per 1000 m of altitude and
2) the dewpoint        drops 1.82°C per 1000 meters altitude.

I was close

Thanks, just added the update, working well, I am going to have to add a tool tip
of sorts so folks can understand whats what on there

Add it to the "title" tag in the ajaxWDwx.js javascript .. i.e. something like this:
cloudText = altitude.toString() + uomHeight + above + ": whatever you want to say goes here";

[Bashy]

Thanks Rainer, i dare say thats a lot easier than implementing one from Dynamic Drive lol

I have just thought of one other small thing, how about a switch to change the mph to bft?

Done ... grab below:

You'll have to change the following line in ajaxWDwx.js however to this:
param = '?uom=' + useunits + '&alti=' + uomHeight + '&wind=bft' + '&buster=' + altitude + pres + wind + wdir + rain;

And you'll have to use it in your ajax-dashboard like this:
<img src="cloud-base.php?uom=M&wind=bft" alt="" height="200" width="100" />

wow, thanks, i didnt mean straight away, but i appreciate it, will take a look after dinner, you da man...

EDIT:
Updated and working well, thanks again....
