ORH_wxman Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Getting a bit worried here...really starting to crank and the woods behind my house are to the south....those tall trees would want to fall right towards the house in a southerly wind event.

Bostonseminole Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 not sure if it get any windier here, pretty meh so far, maybe a gust to 40 once.. otherwise mostly just a regular breezy day. Maybe it picks up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 31 minutes ago, dendrite said: It’s tough to get a near instantaneous mechanical sensor since you need to get a specific number of revolutions per given time to determine a speed. There’s just not enough rev samples if you try to cut it down to under a second. Now they could be using a 3rd party ultrasonic sensor that would have instantaneous capability, but my assumption was that they had the cups. Here’s Davis’ speed equation calculation... Or do it the old fashioned way with a motor that generates a voltage relative to the speed. Thought some of the earlier Davis stations worked this way hence their caution of extending the wind cable beyond 40 feet because the loss of voltage would cause the speed to be lower than measured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSC97wxnut Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Highest sustained winds so far in Newtonville. I am not great at estimating strength, so I'm not going to try. Eversource shows small outages all around. Let's hope it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought some of the earlier Davis stations worked this way hence their caution of extending the wind cable beyond 40 feet because the loss of voltage would cause the speed to be lower than measured. The drop in voltage only affects the maximum possible recordable wind speed. IIRC, the max is around 175mph at 150ft but drops to under 140mph at about 250ft. They have large and small wind cups too which have different accuracies and max capabilities at different speeds and cable lengths. Just found this... https://www.novalynx.com/manuals/WRM_apnote15.pdf Most of the Davis stations now have an integrated sensor suite or wireless anemometer transmitter so lengths are generally 40ft or less.
