I am not familiar with the tag $current_beaufort. Is that part of some extension skin?
Unfortunately, a wind gust in beaufort would not work that way. To do that would require extending the unit system, to allow beaufort to be used as a new unit type, which is not a bad idea. Unfortunately, it's a bit problematic, because wind speed expressed in Beaufort no longer takes a unit label (such as m/s), so would require some code changes to make sure that didn't happen. I'll have to think about all this. -tk On Wed, Jul 8, 2020 at 12:10 PM Vetti52 <drve...@gmail.com> wrote: > On, July 8th 2020 18:25:06 UTC+2 Tom Keffer wrote: >> >> Beaufort is treated as a separate observation type, not an alternative >> unit.
