I'm looking at the weather this Thursday for the North Calotte. The isobars doesn't match other params such as wind, and doesn't match the analysis by the Norwegian MET neither SMHI, which both should be based on the same model results as far as I know.

Ventusky isobars and wind for 2025-12-04T12:00Z as of 2025-12-02T07:30Z.

Air pressure is not available from the MEPS model, so data from the global model are used to draw the isolines — you can tell because the isolines extend even into areas where no color map is displayed.

I see, could you possibly use the air pressure from ECMWF instead of ICON when showing MEPS, since initial and border conditions are set using this model?
