Atmosphere is the weather on the ATAK map for fire and hazmat crews, from public weather services, read on your device and kept on your device.

What it does

  • Forecast at a point: your position, the map center, a tapped point or a favorite. The numbers a briefing asks for: temperature, humidity, the 20-foot wind and gusts, mixing height, transport wind, wet bulb globe temperature, chance of rain; the next hours as a line and a table; the days ahead; sunrise, sunset and the moon.
  • Radar over the United States and Canada from the national weather services, and everywhere else from RainViewer's composite of the world's public radars, with the last two to three hours on a time strip.
  • Satellite, infrared or visible, where no radar reaches.
  • Forecast wind, rain, smoke and waves on one time strip, five days ahead, each with a reading "Here".
  • Fire weather and flash flood outlooks, days 1 to 3.
  • River gauges, flooded ground and streams running high, now and at the worst of the next five days.
  • Buoys with tides, currents and the marine forecast; the beach forecast; sea temperature; hurricanes with track, cone and wind fields.
  • Avalanche zones, snow stations and snow depth.
  • Weather stations against their zone's Red Flag criteria, and spot forecasts with a helper to request one.

Every layer asks once before it talks to the network and names the server. Nothing is published to a server or to anyone else's map. Warnings, watches and advisories are left to the IPAWS Alerts plugin.
