Coach McGuirk Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm checking the wind profile for these storms today and can't figure out what RMS stands for in KTS RMS. Any help would be nice. http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?zoommode=pan&prevzoom=zoom&num=10&frame=0&delay=15&scale=0.317&noclutter=0&ID=AKQ&type=NVW&showstorms=0&lat=37.12229919&lon=-76.44840240&label=Tabb,%20VA&map.x=400&map.y=240&scale=0.317¢erx=255¢ery=214&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&lerror=20&num_stns_min=2&num_stns_max=9999&avg_off=9999&smooth=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Pretty sure that's just root mean square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 this s/b moved to met 101... Yup What does "knots root mean square mean"? I don't use it really, but if I'm reading it correctly the kts rms shows the degree of accuracy of the plotted wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thanks. What does the 0-16 ranking mean? I guess that's how many knots they could be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
