On the graph below, there are 3 traces, red, blue, and green, that represent the peak wind, average wind, and slowest wind during each minute in which the wind is measured. The farther apart the traces are, the more gusty the conditions are. The middle graph below is the wind direction The red trace above represents the cumulative rainfall. If it hasn't rained, then the red trace is just a straight line along the bottom.

May 30 2007: Weather-Loop Video added to Web Page. This is an experimental flash application that buffers the last 40 images received from the video camera, and plays them back in a time lapse manner (similar to a weather loop). The sequence of images is 'played' every time a new image comes in. A new video image is uploaded every 2-5 seconds, so you should see about 3-4 minutes of action. Since the video camera is inside the same housing that the digital camera is in, you will often see the camera 'move' around, at various zoom values. For example, when a movie is made, the video camera is zoomed in all the way. If a digital shot is done next, the camera housing will be repositioned for the digital camera, and the video camera may remained zoomed in all the way, so all you may see are waves in the middle of the ocean. NOT WORKING?? If the image has not updated in the last minute, try refreshing your browser (F5), and if it still doesn't update, it means for some reason, new images are not being uploaded form the camera station....could be maintenance, or a bug in the program, which should fix itself within the hour ( a watchdog circuit will reboot the system). About this Image Monitoring Station: This station is located on top of the Life Guard Hut at Jensen Beach, just north of the Holiday Inn near Stuart, Fl in Martin County (central Florida on the east coast). It consists of an Olympus SP500, 6 Mega Pixel digital camera controlled by custom software running under Windows XP. In addition, there is a Sony Block low light level, low noise video camera with integrated 18x optical zoom. Both cameras are placed inside an environmentally protected housing on top of a precision pan/tilt unit made by Conway. A water pump, reservoir and windshield wiper system clean the glass under program control. The software controls many functions including pan/tilt positioning, camera zoom, imaging stitching, and uploads images and complete web pages to various ftp sites...all under automatically and unattended. For more information, see Erdman Video Systems. Difficulty viewing this page? All the images on this page should be able to be viewed easily, but if you can't see them, give us a call (305 252 9560) or email us at evs_staff@video-monitoring.com. There are links on this page to slideshows and short video clips, for which additional programs may have to be installed. We use 2 types of slideshows. For the smaller images we use Flash, a product from the company Adobe, and you can go to their site at www.adobe.com and find the Flash Player and install it for free. The slideshow used for the large panoramic view uses Java. If you can't see it, you can go to www.java.com and download and install their player. For Internet Explorer, you may have to change some configuration settings to allow Java to run. You do this by going to the menu choice at the top: Tools : Options : Advanced, and scroll down to the check box(es) mentioning Java, and check them to enable them. Call us or email us at the above numbers/address if you need further assistance. |
