Temperature averaging

(1/3) > >>

openvista:
The National Weather Service ASOS stations report daily highs and lows using an array of 5 minute averages. See pg 681 of http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/JTECH1752.1 for specifics.

It is these smoothed numbers that are referred to when judging forecast and record accuracy, not the transient values our weather stations report.

I'd like the ability to compare my highs/lows to theirs using their methodology. Particularly, I'd like to be able to output the averaged min and max temperature onto my website via tags.

Thank you!

I should add that I have my sampling rate set to 1 minute and adaptive option is checked. I would think the 1 min sampling rate would be a prerequisite for this feature.

Hi there,
You can do this with a synthetic channel - set one up as per the attached screen-shot, you'll then be able to use it as you would any other channel - graphs, gauges, tags etc.

Cheers.

That appears to be what I need. Thanks!!

I implemented the above solution. Highs work great!

The lows, however, sometimes have "dropouts" where the value will drop to 32 for a moment and then recover to the correct value. See attached image.
