The file recorded 38.4 at 8.17 when the actual value was 100.0km/h. I tried every combination of kt m/s and mph and none match the recorded to the actual.
Initial set up had km/h set and this is what is being reported in the Software but not in the logfile it seems.
Where do i check logfile is set to km/h?
so after all these years thinking that as I had mph set for wind speed units it was saved to the log files it turns out the log file ( set to metric) saves them as knots
Mine is set to Metric for sure. Another storm today so another chance to compare actual to whats recorded in the log and there is no correlation there.
How the logfile is recording this data is puzzling me.
I have a Davis Vantage Vue but am using an Inspeed Vortex for wind speeds
I’m looking at windspeed and gusts
The Actual Values are being recorded in Weather Display and reflect everywhere bar in the logfile.
OK Brian i didn’t know that. So the log just takes a record of the current conditions at an exact time every minute? So in theory a gust could be missed if it was recorded between the times of logging? Or would it record the Max Gust during that minute period and then log it.?
Thats not the case for me Brian. We had three storms here this month. Gusts of 109.4km/h, 100.0km/h and 74.6km/h and none were recorded in the Logfile. All show in WD as either monthly data or all time records so its just in the logfile they are not recorded.
Go to the 9th of November and click here to see the station graph. Graph showing the correct Max gust of 109.4km/h yet data from the logfile showing 66km/h.
