Plotting Displays:
Plot Window . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Enables graphing of all database information (multiple variables may be
plotted on a single graph) over any of the following spans (1 hr, 4 hr, 8 hr,
12 hr, 1 day, 3 days, Week, Month, Year). Multiple dates may also be
plotted on the same graph.
Strip Charts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Four stacked line graphs (multiple variables may be plotted on a single
graph), which update at the time of each archive interval. Strip charts
may use any of the following spans (1 hr, 4 hr, 8 hr, 12 hr, 1 day, 3 days,
Week, Month, Year).
Reports:
NOAA Monthly Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Monthly Weather Watcher report
NOAA Yearly Summary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Yearly Weather Watcher report
Yearly Rainfall . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates rainfall totals broken down by month and year. Rainfall data
may be altered and data may be added to reflect rainfall totals for
months and years which are not contained in your weather database.
Degree-Days . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tracks degree-days and progress towards development for an
unlimited number of crops or pests; base and upper development
thresholds and development totals entered by user.
Temperature/Humidity Hours . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates the number of hours the temperature has been either above
or below a given threshold, and that during which time the humidity was
above a given threshold from a given start date. Typically used to track
conditions for the development of agricultural pests and molds.
Soil Temperature Hours . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates the time that soil temperature has been above freezing (or
some other threshold). Typically used to determine a time to plant
crops.
Chilling Requirements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates the number of hours spent below a specified temperature
during a specified period of time. Typically used to determine if the
coldness requirement for a fruit tree in dormancy has been met.
Bright Sunshine Hours . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates amount of sunshine for a selected time period.
Leaf Wetness Hours. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates the amount of leaf wetness hours over a selected time
period.
Fuel Demand . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Estimates fuel usage based on past usage and outside temperatures.
Total ET . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates ET for a selected time period.
Sunrise & Sunset Times. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Calculates sunrise and sunset times for any given latitude, longitude
and date.
