Default Wind speed corrections

I've now raised my Fine Offset to 3.65m (that's the anemo bits). What's
the correction to make it the full 10m?

The temperatures seem more in keeping with Benson's now, though the
sensor is a bit high. Ah well, can't have everything and this won't be
used for Climate Change investigations!

Are you running Cumulus? Easy to calibrate for additions and offsets. I
just used XC Weather to get values. Do you have the temperature sensor
in a screen? The heat shield that comes with it is next to uselesss.
When modded up the Fine Offset is fantastic value.

I've just Googled and it was easier than I thought. For my height of
anemo it's add 20%. Yes I'm using Cumulus and I've just changed the
multiplier.

And you're right about the shield, but I don't have anywhere to put the
sensor in a screen so I'll live with it. Be able to prove global warming
is occurring!

BTW, I found the conversion on page 5 of
