Class Description

Kinds of analogs (floats) measuring an atmospheric condition.

snow Snow amount over a specified period of time.
windChill The temperature of how cold it “feels like” based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the effects of wind and cold temperatures.
windSpeedGust Maximum instantaneous wind speed in the 10 minute period preceding a moment in time so long as more than 10 knots of difference has been exhibited between peaks and lulls during that 10 minute time period.
0 value means no gusts during preceding 10 minute period.
windSpeedInstantaneous Wind speed at a moment in time.
windSpeedPeak Peak instantaneous wind speed in the 60 minutes preceding a moment in time as long as peak speed greater than 25 knots.
0 value means speed did not exceed 25 knots during preceding 60 minutes.
windSpeedSustained Average instantaneous wind speed over the 2-minute time period preceding a moment in time.
verticalVisibility
albedo
ambientTemperature The temperature measured by a thermometer exposed to the air in a place sheltered from direct solar radiation. Also known as “dry bulb” because the air temperature is indicated by a thermometer not affected by the moisture of the air.
atmosphericPressure
ceiling
dewPoint The temperature to which air must be cooled at constant pressure and constant water-vapor content in order for saturation to occur. In other words, it is the temperature at which water vapor starts to condense out of the air.
