Proximity
The Route-Weather-API offers various filters on the forecast data, one of which collects data within a fixed radial distance (proximity) from
the route. For example, the :150km:max
notation used in the below query requests that all values within a 150km radial range should be collected
at every step along the route, and then passed through the max
filter, returning the maximum value. The complete parameter notation, gfs|wind:150km:max
,
therefore indicates that we want the highest wind speeds from the GFS forecast within a 150km range from the route.
