# Radiosonde Data Analyzer
A web-based tool for visualizing and analyzing radiosonde flight data from log files generated by the [Radiosonde decoder](https://github.com/9A4AM/Radiosonde-decoder-and-tracker-for-Windows) by 9A4AM.
## Features
- **Interactive Map Visualization**: View flight paths with multiple base map styles (Dark, Light, Terrain, Satellite)
- **Multi-Chart Analysis**:
- Altitude vs Time
- Horizontal Speed vs Time
- Vertical Velocity vs Time
- Direction Analysis
- **Statistics Dashboard**: Track total flights, max altitude, average duration, and max speed
- **Individual Sonde Control**: Toggle visibility of specific sondes for focused analysis
- **Responsive Design**: Works on desktop and mobile devices
- **File Directory Loading**: Load multiple log files at once from a folder
## ☕ [Support my work on Ko-Fi](https://ko-fi.com/thatsinewave)
## Live Demo
Access the web version hosted on GitHub Pages:
🌐 [thatsinewave.github.io/Radiosonde-Data-Analyzer](https://thatsinewave.github.io/Radiosonde-Data-Analyzer)
## Supported Log Format
This tool processes `.log` files generated by the 9A4AM Radiosonde decoder in the following format:
```
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS | Lat: XX.XXXXX, Lon: XX.XXXXX, Alt: XXXX.X m, vH: XX.X km/h, vV: X.X m/s, Dir: XXX.X
```
## Local Installation and Usage
### Option 1: Using GitHub Pages (Recommended)
Simply visit the live demo link above - no installation required!
### Option 2: Running Locally
1. **Clone or Download the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ThatSINEWAVE/Radiosonde-Data-Analyzer.git
cd Radiosonde-Data-Analyzer
```
2. **Serve the Files with a Local Server**
Due to browser security restrictions, you need to serve the files through a local web server rather than opening the HTML file directly.
**Using Python:**
```bash
# Python 3
python -m http.server 8000
# Python 2
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
```
**Using Node.js:**
```bash
npx http-server
```
**Using PHP:**
```bash
php -S localhost:8000
```
3. **Open Your Browser**
Navigate to `http://localhost:8000` (or the port you specified)
4. **Load Your Data**
- Click "Select Log Files Folder"
- Navigate to the folder containing your radiosonde `.log` files
- Select the folder (the app will load all `.log` files in that directory)
## How to Use
1. **Load Data**: Use the folder selection button to load your radiosonde log files
2. **Map Navigation**:
- Pan by dragging the map
- Zoom using mouse wheel or +/- buttons
- Switch between different map styles using the buttons in the sidebar
3. **Data Analysis**:
- Click on individual sondes in the sidebar to toggle their visibility
- Hover over points on the map to see detailed information
- Analyze trends across the four different charts
4. **Statistics**: View overall statistics in the sidebar panel

## Generating Data
To create log files compatible with this analyzer:
1. Use the [Radiosonde decoder](https://github.com/9A4AM/Radiosonde-decoder-and-tracker-for-Windows)
2. Configure the software to output log files in the supported format (Should be by default)
3. The analyzer will automatically process the timestamp, coordinates, altitude, speeds, and direction data
## Browser Compatibility
- Chrome/Chromium (recommended)
- Firefox
- Safari
- Edge
Note: Some older browsers may not support all features.
## Technical Details
- Built with vanilla JavaScript (no frameworks)
- Uses Leaflet.js for map visualization
- Chart.js for data visualization
- Modern CSS with CSS Grid and Flexbox
- Responsive design that works on mobile and desktop
