Wind speed curious Fine Offset question

Post by wd40 »

I have noticed the fine offset at low wind conditions(less than 2 mph) reports two wind speeds, .7 mph and 1.6 mph. I don't think I have ever seen numbers like .9 mph or 1.5 mph. Anyone know the reason for that? Just curious about how that works.

It may do the same thing at higher wind speeds but we haven't had very much wind or rain since I installed the station.

It reports wind speed in m/s, and Cumulus converts, and they seem to have a resolution of around 0.3 m/s, hence the limited set of values that get reported.

That makes sense.

Thanks
