A solid arrow within the compass rose indicates the current
wind direction. Open arrows indicate up to six different 10-
minute dominant wind directions to provide a history of the
dominant wind directions for the past hour.
2. Press WIND a second time to display the wind direction in degrees instead
of the wind speed.
Each additional WIND key press toggles the dis-
play between wind speed and wind direction in
degrees. When displayed in degrees, due north
displays as 360
°

If the solar panel on your ISS is not facing due
south, you should recalibrate the wind direction
reading on your console. See “Calibrating Wind
Direction Reading” on page 27.

utes with the direction of the highest gust displayed in degrees.
• Average Wind Speed — Displays the average speed over the past two
minutes and over the past ten minutes.
• Beaufort Scale — Toggles between a description of the wind speed and
how the wind ranks on the Beaufort Scale. (See “Beaufort Scale” on
page 44 for more information.)
• Wind Direction — Displays the current wind direction in degrees.
