Last week I created a custom weather station on weatherunderground.com just so that I could transmit 15 second wind speed and direction data from the 45165 buoy stationed about 6 miles southeast of Monroe. You can access data from this station by following the steps below

1. navigate to weatherunderground.com
2. Search for "luna pier, MI"
3. Click the "Station Select" button right in the middle of the page
4. Under the list that appears in the "Nearby Weather Stations" section select "45165 RapidFire (15 sec)"

You can also access data from the station by going to the station page on weatherunderground http://www.wunderground.com/weathers...p?ID=KMIMONRO7

The weather badge in the upper right will show the instantaneous wind speed.

A third way to access observations from this station is from the whole-page RapidFire display.

I will continue to monitor the battery usage of transimitting this high frequency data, but in the meantime let me know if its useful.

Thanks,

Ed
