Wind gust


Feliperr Jan 27, 2017 04:57 PM

Hello Everyone; please I am trying to configure a CR1000 datalogger to store wind gust per the World Met Organization's definition (calculating a 3-s running mean). I am sampling wind data at 1 sec with a RM Young 05105 wind sensor. Can anyone provide a hint on how to get the wind gust and associated direction?

Thanks,

Felipe

AvgRun instruction with a sample count of 3.

Thanks, JDavis. Would  that also apply for estimating the highest average speed (Gust) over a consecutive period of three seconds within a 10- minute interval??. I guess I need first to calculate max values every 3 seconds and then run the moving average. Is that correct?

AvgRun(Dest, Reps, WindSpeedMax, 3)

I need to store the Gust variable every 10 minutes. 

Thanks,

Felipe

Use the Maximum instruction within a 10 minute table with the 3 second gust as the source.

Same question here but with an old CR10X datalogger ;) I dont have the same programing instructions.

Any program examples availible for us old school folks?

The CR10X has a RunningAverage instruction P52. This does the same as the AvgRun now in CRBasic.

To get the maximum 3s gust over an output period, you just need to take a maximum of the result from your P52 in the output array.
