New 24hr plots

Here are some much improved plots for each of the wind sites. It's something I've been working on and off since October. The data is saved and read from a database and the plots are made dynamically. I hope to upgrade the monthly Archive plots to something similar (at some point).

Here are some features:

-Archived data See the daily plots from previous dates (I have data going back to 2003 that I still have to get into the database).

-Live updating If you are on Todays plot, the plot updates automatically and displays new data

-Click the dimmed legend text to show temperature, pressure and waves (if available).

-Model1 = University of Washington WRF-GFS 4km model updated at ~910am/910pm.

-Model2 = 2.5km GEM-LAM WEST Model from Environment Canada updated ~1030am/1030pm.

-Click the graph, hold and swipe to select a time segment to zoom in to. Use the Reset zoom button to zoom out.

-For archived data, click the date and select the day from the calendar, or use the Previous Next Today buttons.

-Use the buttons at the top right to print or save the plot as a png, jpg or PDF.

-Grey background = night, yellow background = day.

Find them on the Latest Reports page, under 24hr plots at the top left or from:

If you like the older smaller popup plots you can still find them if you use the South Island maps (google and non google).
