Cross-sections

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 in point 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").
