→What do the various wind speeds in Cumulus correspond to, with Fine Offset stations?
|
Cumulus, for various reasons, uses different terminology, and also has configuration settings which control how some of the wind values are displayed.
* The Fine Offset console 'Gust' value becomes Cumulus 'Latest'.
* The highest of the Fine Offset 'Gust' values over the previous 10 minutes becomes Cumulus 'Gust'. Note that the WMO definition of a wind gust is the mean wind speed over a 2 to 3 second sample period (not the maximum instantaneous wind speed).
* Cumulus 'Average' can be calculated in 3 different ways:
** The default: If 'Calculate 10-min wind average' is not selected on the Station Settings screen, the console 'Wind' value is used.
