Self-contained release — the download now includes the real SHARPpy SPC panel, no separate install needed. (Larger download than before: ~220 MB.)

What's new

Analysis tab

  • New operational-products panel with color-scale ranges: severe weather (SCP, STP, SHIP, DCAPE, MLCAPE/CIN), moisture & deep convection (precipitable water, K-index, Total Totals, lapse rates), fire weather (Haines, Fosberg, ventilation rate), and icing / freezing levels.
  • Surface card shows the pressure/temp/humidity/wind actually used. Set Custom Surface lets you edit the surface and start the sounding at a chosen pressure, then re-process. Custom runs save to data_CS.csv and never overwrite the raw data.csv.

Open Past Flight

  • Browse your saved flights and re-open one in its own folder — re-processing (and custom surface) writes back there instead of creating a new dated folder every time. External-CSV import is still available.

Map

  • Selectable basemaps: Streets, Satellite (with city labels), and Dark — remembered across sessions.
  • Flight track redrawn with a bold core over a contrasting halo so it stays legible on any basemap; map overlay buttons made readable.

Under the hood

  • Bundles the SHARPpy render environment so the genuine SPC panel works everywhere; render runs isolated from the app so there are no Python version conflicts, and no console window flashes during processing.

Install

Download PTHSonde-windows-x64.zip, extract it, and run PTHSonde.exe inside the PTHSonde folder.
