La Crosse Home Weather Stations
| I recently purchased a La Crosse WC9257 home weather station in your online store. |
Reply Quote |
I have a question for you: why does the reference point of relative atmospheric pressure set by me spontaneously change. And another question: which is better to set the city code in the settings if I live in Novosibirsk. I understand that these weather stations were produced for the European market, but still?
| How do you determine that a point is changing? Unfortunately, I can’t tell you about the city. |
Reply Quote |
| As I understand it, relative and absolute pressure should change depending on the weather. It’s just that the relative pressure changes from the parameter you set (relative to the height), and the absolute pressure is calculated at sea level. |
Reply Quote |
For Moscow, the selection method determined that the most suitable city was Shwerin. For Novosibirsk, it is necessary to select the method of scientific poke))
| Here is a specific example: normal air pressure at sea level=1013 hPa. Calculated normal air pressure at 138 meters altitude=997.2 hPa.99.6 hPA. Although, judging by the graph (history) of atmospheric pressure changes on the display of the weather station, the pressure is growing. Is it supposed to be? So they should change “in pairs” – the relative pressure set by me, and the absolute atm. pressure measured by the La Crosse WS9257 weather station? |
Reply Quote |
| Have you entered a relative pressure value of 997. |
Reply Quote |
2? The chart shows that the pressure rose and grew to 999.6?
| Dima, absolutely right, the set relative pressure from 997.2 has risen to 999.6. So it should be, as I now understood, the set relative pressure should change in tandem with the absolute pressure, and what is not unimportant, this difference is constant. For me it is exactly 14.3 hPa. |
