Unfortunately there is no single link (largely because the answer is 'it depends'). Firstly, the Archive Types <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#archive_types> appendix in the Customisation Guide will tell you what fields you have in your archive (provided you are using the default schema, if not then adjust accordingly). Secondly, the Tags <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Tags> section and the Aggregation types <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#aggregation_types> appendix, both in the Customisation Guide, give you details on what tags and aggregates you can use. The third corner of the triangle is what data is actually coming off your station. If you have a station that is documented in the Hardware Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm> it is a little easier, you can refer to the station data section for your station (eg Vantage station data <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_data62>) and see what fields are available in archive records and loop packets. Generally speaking, if your station supports a given field, archive fields will be available through the tag system but loop fields may not (software record generation being one exception).
If your station is not documented in the Hardware Guide then you need to do a little sleuthing to find out what your station/driver emits, sometimes the author has documented this, other times it is in the comments at the start of the driver file other times you need to analyses the driver code yourself. Hope this helps. As for your stormStart problem, this has been an issue and will be fixed in the 4.0 release <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/development/docs/changes.txt#L34>.
