Data: Wind Run

Wind run is measurement of the "amount" of wind passing the station during a given period of time, expressed in either "miles of wind" or "kilometers of wind". WeatherLink calculates wind run by multiplying the average wind speed for each archive record by the archive interval.
For Example:

Average Wind Speed = 5 mph
Archive Interval = 30 minutes (0.5 hours)
Wind Run = 5 mph x 0.5 hours = 2.5 miles of wind

The West Juneau Weather Station uses a 5 minute archive interval and the 5 minute archive records are totaled for the 24 hour period from midnight to midnight; and continuously totaled for the graphs.
