EATHER ONDITIONS
This section outlines each of the weather conditions measuredor calculated by
the Vantage Pro. Each section includes a brief discussion of the weather condi-
tion and a listing of the various ways in which the unit displays or stores that
condition. Be aware that some of the weather conditions require an optional
sensor in order to measure or calculate a value.
Wind
The Vantage Pro measures wind speed andthe direction from which it's blow-
ing. The ten-minute average wind speed is displayed in the weather ticker
when wind you press the WIND key.
Temperature
Vantage Pro uses the ISS's temperature sensor to measure the outside air tem-
perature. A second temperature sensor in the console measures the inside air
temperature. Additional temperature sensors (available only with wireless
Vantage Pro) can be used to measure temperature in other locations. You may
use these extra sensors to measure whatever auxiliary temperature you see fit
(including water temperature).
Apparent Temperature Measures
Vantage Pro calculates three apparent temperature readings: wind chill, heat
index, and the temperature/humidity/sun/wind index (THSW Index).
