This PWS (Personal Weather Station) is a Davis Vantage Pro2. The ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite) sends a data packet to the console every 2 ½ seconds. The weather conditions that are the most variable (such as wind speed and direction) are updated with each packet, while most other conditions are updated every 10 seconds.
Weather Display receives the data from the console, analyzes and stores the data, and updates the web pages. The current conditions on the home page, and Weather Display Live, are updated every 10 seconds.
Weather Display also uploads the station's data to Weather Underground, which in return provides a radar screen, records and the advisory map.
My web cams are Panasonic network IP cams, models BB-HCM371A and BB-HCM331A, which come with web servers, and an Internet address. They are available live, and upload to Weather Underground, which produces the all day video.
The menus are based on Stu Nicholls' CSS menu design. Ken True put together a nice script to create a menu on page load. The new web page design is based on the sinorca-gradient template by Haran.
A big thanks to Tom at Carter Lake, with inspiration by Kevin Reed, for the template that my original page was based on. Tom also wrote the original versions of the scripts to read the forecast, the weather warnings and the Ajax updates. Thanks to Anole for the weather banner that I use. I'd also like to thank Pinto for the code to read the Weather Display client files. Pinto also is the creator of my graphs, with some additions by Broadstairs. Thanks to Ken True, for many scripts, including the meso-buoy map, work on the Ajax code, and updates to the site status, advisories and forecast scripts. Ken True also wrote the software for the Southwestern Weather Network, and ported it for the Northeastern and Mid Atlantic Weather Networks.
MCHALLIS has written a number of scripts used here, including the Contact Form, Who's Online (see the summary below), NOAA Top Weather Advisory Alerter PHP Script, NWS Weather Forecast Messenger PHP Script and Weather Display Conditions Messenger PHP Script. The last three update my Twitter page.
The Cellular (wap) Weather page is by jmcmurry, who also wrote the forecast comparison script and contributed to other scripts used here.
A number of people contributed to the current conditions gizmo, including Kevin Reed, Pinto, Tom at Carter Lake and Ken True. The gizmo appears in the upper right corner of this, and various other pages. The Cloud base graphic courtesy of Bashewa Weather
The heat comfort level uses the Feels Like temperature. View the chart here.
Brian Hamilton is the creator of Weather Display. Brian adds to Weather Display constantly, making it the best weather station software available!
