What do the various wind speeds in Cumulus correspond to, with Fine Offset stations?
For Fine Offset stations, the ‘latest’ value in Cumulus corresponds to the ‘gust’ value on the station. The ‘gust’ value in Cumulus is the highest of the ‘latest’ figures in the last 10 minutes. The ‘average’ value in Cumulus is either the ’speed’ from the station (a 48-second average, apparently) or, if you have Cumulus set to calculate a 10-minute average, it’s the average over the last 10 minutes of the ‘latest’ values.
