Live Sensor Readings
- The Kitesurf proprietary sensors are the yellow arrows on the map. The gray arrows are public wind sensors (not as good).
- If you click on a yellow sensor you can see a graph of the latest live readings. These graphs pack a lot of info:
- 1km forecast model is shown with a purple/blue-ish line. Quicklook model is shown with a gray line
- Sensors capture wind readings for a short time window then they output three readings from that window. The max wind speed (gusts) is red, the lowest wind speed (lull) is green, and the average wind speed during the time window is in blue.
- Most sensors gather data for ~5min then output a gust, average, and lull. Some sensors like the Anita Rock (Crissy) sensor gather data from a much shorter time window so they update much more frequently.
