Subject:
TWP/SMET/C2 - Induced wind speed when calm
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC2.b1
Description:
The upper and lower wind sensors were not trending well at wind speed below 1 m/s.  Both 
sensors were showing values above 0m/s when calm.  The lightning protector was at fault 
resulting in an induced wind voltage during calm conditions.

Users should subtract any offset found (for example 0.19 m/s for upper wind speed) when 
the wind speeds are flat-lined.  The offset value was not consistent.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:twpsmet60sC2.b1:
  • Upper sensor, wind speed maximum(up_spd_max)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed minimum(lo_spd_min)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed arithmetic average(up_spd_arith_avg)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed vector average(up_spd_vec_avg)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed arithmetic average(lo_spd_arith_avg)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed minimum(up_spd_min)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed vector average(lo_spd_vec_avg)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed maximum(lo_spd_max)
