Good idea. I don't think there is any restriction or check made on wind direction field, you can put anything you want. > > Since most atmospheric forecast models can output solar radiation and > infrared radiation directly, it could be useful to have that option > too, instead of just cloudiness. Yes but we have to know if: 1- METRo produce a good road forecast doing this way (I hope you'll be able to answer this); 2- If it could be useful. Do you know if there is a lot of RWIS station that possess and use this sensor? -- Miguel Tremblay Physicien - Physicist Centre météorologique canadien - Canadian meteorological centre (CMC) Environnement Canada - Environment Canada http://www.ec.gc.ca/ 2121 Trans-Canada N.
