thanks to Windy Schor, over at energyteachers.org, we are now able to learn a little more about how wind on the Second Life grid behaves, and what variables it responds to.
Windy has come up with a system of in-world anemometers which communicate to a web-driven database, and the resulting output can be analysed as an offline spreadsheet, or as an in-world weather map.
i've positioned four anemometers at the Raymaker Field Studies Centre at Norma, along the southern and southwestern flank of the Dante volcano.
the anemometers are positioned at different altitudes, and each site varies in its surrounding topography.
have a look, by selecting the four Norma items from this drop-down menu :-)
