Code: Wind speed of gust in the atmosphere

Description: Maximum speed of the wind (distance moved per unit time by a parcel of air) parallel to the ground during a gust event (generally regarded as an increase over sustained speed of more than 5m/s lasting less than 20 seconds).

Statement: All sensors are factory calibrated and then calibrated and serviced every six months.The clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. Typical time drift in a day is a few seconds.The clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. The location of all fixed equipment is recorded using a standard GPS so the accuracy should be within 5-10m using WGS-84. All mobile equipment has an on-board GPS and so should have equivalent accuracy although is will be around 10-20m due to the nature of the movement of the buoys. Instruments are replaced and serviced at regular intervals. Each change results in a new deployment. Multiple deployments have been merged and a single data 'channel' has been created for each sensor to make it easier to access and use the data. There is a single metadata record for each channel with the deployment details for the sensor that makes up the channel described in the metadata record. Data are quality controlled by validating against a set of rules (bounds checking, etc) and then flagged using the IODE set of flags.
