== What do the various wind speeds in Cumulus correspond to, with Fine Offset stations? ==
Fine Offset stations measure wind over 48-second intervals, divided into 24 2-second intervals. At the end of each 48-second period, they report the highest of those 24 values as 'Gust', and the average of those 24 values as 'Wind'. Cumulus, for various reasons, uses different terminology, and
The 'Gust' value is displayed in Cumulus as 'Latest'. Cumulus displays the highest of those values over the previous 10 minutes as 'Gust'.
