Sensor Notes
As the sensor is mounted high about 20 and located in the Chesapeake channel, southerly wind readings near shores generally see less wind at the surface and varies with water temperature. The rule of thumb for southerly winds is to subtract the following amount for the measured water temps as follows:
80s: Subtract 1 mph from reading average
70s: Subtract 2 mph
60s: Subtract 3 mph
50s: Subtract 4 mph
40s: Subtract 5 mph
