Ambient Weather Support

The wind speed resolution for the Observer Series weather stations is about 2.5 mph, so the gust will appear in increments of about 2.5 mph.

The wind gust is defined as the peak wind speed calculated by the sensor array in the 14 second update period, sampled once per second, or 14 samples.

The wind speed is defined as the average wind speed calculated by the sensor array in the 14 second update period, sampled once per second, or 14 samples.

Thus, the gust will have a resolution of about 2.5 mph and the speed will have a resolution of 0.1, since it is an average.
