Recalculate THSW Index
WeatherLink versions 5.3 and later support a new derived data parameter, the
Temperature Humidity Sun Wind (THSW) Index. If your station contains a
solar radiation sensor, this value can be calculated for existing data by select-
ing Recalculate THSW Index in the Browse Menu, which is displayed when
the Browse window is open.
Note: Be sure to verify that the latitude and longitude settings and daylight savings time set-
tings are correct before using this command.
