HIP:wind

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.
