I'm wondering if I can get an answer from WU support regarding the way wind direction graphs are displayed in the new system.
I've attached a pic showing the wind direction graphs generated using the "old" system and the "new" system for the same period today. The "new" graph is much smoother (as I'd expect from a coastal station, although it's a light wind day). Looking at the two graphs, they're only roughly the same!
My station reports at 1 min intervals. Just for completeness, it would be nice to know if the new graph is showing an average of the 5 reports between graphing intervals, where the old graph simply plots the most recently received observation?
No complaints though. I like the "new" graph, which seems to smooth out the unavoidable wind variations caused by a less than ideal position.
