As of 05/09/08 08:04:50 the Tenerife site reports the weather is bad for observing.


The dark red and blue lines indicate the temperature values averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.


The dark red, blue and green lines indicate the wind speed averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.
If the green line is oscillating between 0 and 60 the sensor is indicating that
it is detecting nothing - i.e. it is frozen up or physically blocked.


The dark green line indicates the wind direction averaged over 10 minutes.
If the green line is oscillating between the top and bottom of the graph the sensor
is indicating that it is detecting nothing - i.e. it is frozen up or physically blocked.


The dark blue line indicates the atmospheric pressure averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.


The dark red and blue lines indicate the humidity averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.
The humidity sensors are calibrated up to 95%, after which point they become saturated.


The dark red and blue lines indicate the cloud sensor values averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.
Cloud sensor 1 is the blue line. The detector is tilted 30 degrees from the zenith
towards the east.
Cloud sensor 2 is the red line. The detector is tilted 30 degrees from the zenith
towards the west.


The dark red and blue lines indicate the cloud sensor values averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.
Cloud sensor 3 is the blue line. The detector is tilted 30 degrees from the zenith
towards the south.
Cloud sensor 4 is the red line. The detector is tilted 55 degrees from the zenith
towards the north.


The dark green line shows the dew results averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.


Green areas on the graph indicate rain at that time.


The dark orange line indicates the solar radiation averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.


The dark red and blue lines show any light detected averaged over 10 minutes.
The light lines show the minimum and maximum values recorded in the sample intervals.
Blue lines are from the sun-rise pointing sensor, red are the sun-set pointing sensor.


Red lines indicate weather rules triggering. Any triggered rule means the weather
is bad and the system does not observe.

Rules are as follows:

Rule 1: cloud2_rule
Rule 2: cloud4_rule
Rule 3: humidity_rule
Rule 4: ice_rule
Rule 5: ice_rule1
