I have a station that is 10 miles from a 1 min resolution TDWRadar. I want to "locally" (in the month file) record my obs where the 1 min avg and 1 min peak wind gust gets recorded. This isn't a problem with a quick change to the .ini file (AvgSpeedMinutes=1 + PeakGustMinutes=1). However, When this data gets uploaded to WU (etc.) the data appears spiky/noisy due to their graphing system and for CWOP this would be bad because it's uploading that minute's observation which is not a representative sample of the current weather. I currently have AvgSpeedMinutes = 2 and PeakGustMinutes=10 and that works very well for both WU and CWOP but not for high density (1-min) observations.
My question is that is there a way to send the data to WU (etc.) as different averages (like I current have) than the "local" monthly file storage settings (ie. 1 min data)?

Re: Possible for uploaded info diffrent from cataloged info?
The only options are to send to WU either the average (whether calculated by Cumulus or read from the station), or (in the case of Davis stations) the 3-second current wind speed. And Cumulus only holds one average. It is an intention of mine to provide multiple different averages simultaneously at some point (as I realise how useful this would be, as in the situation you describe) but I don't know when I'll get around to doing it. I can't think of any way that you could achieve this currently.

Re: Possible for uploaded info diffrent from cataloged info?
Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I thought, though I didn't know for sure. I'll just keep what I have for now but it would be a great addition in the future now that things with very high time resolution like GOES-R (down to 30 sec. resolution) and Phased Array Radar (15 second volume scans) are coming out in the next few years*.
