Forecast
The forecast icons show what weather conditions may occur within the next 12 hours. The
console generates a weather forecast based on the barometric reading and trend; wind speed
and direction; rainfall; temperature; humidity; latitude and longitude; and time of year. The
forecast is updated once an hour, on the hour and requires three hours of data. Predictions are
made for cloud cover and the likelihood of precipitation.
Wind
The anemometer measures wind speed and direction, and is part of the Integrated Sensor Suite
(ISS). The console calculates a 2-minute average wind speed, a 10-minute average wind speed
and 10-minute dominant wind direction. The 2- and10-minute average wind speed are
displayed in the Weather Center whenever wind has been selected on the console. The last six
10-minute dominant wind directions are included in the compass rose wind display.
