BMS
Data Plot: Live - Just south of South Table Mountain in Golden
(green
wind speed in mph on left, red direction in degrees on
right. This tower is a mile or two east of Lookout
Mountain
and Mt.
Zion, so ESE to NE winds are desired there or WNW to N to
ENE
for Green
Mountain)
NWTC
M2
Data Plot: Live - Just north of Rocky Flats (same as BMS
but this tower is dedicated to wind research. This tower
is a
mile or two west of the Powerlines
R/C
site NW is desired.. N is flyable, W is
flyable.. Anywhere south of west, or east of north, even a
couple degrees is disasterous)
Live
weather display at BMS tower (I think
the wind plots above are more useful)
