Colin will look into how to do damping of the direction and speed readimg.


  • Wind Speed
  • Wind Gust


  • The international standard for anemometer height above the ground is 10 meters (33 feet) with no obstructions.
  • CWOP requires wind direction reports in degrees from true north.

Sampling Standards

  • Mean Wind Speed and Direction: 2-minute mean of speed and direction sampled before the observation valid time sampled from high-resoluation data (minimum: 5 second instrument polling).
  • Gust: Maximum 'instantaneous' wind value observed in the 10 minutes before the observation time.
