I'm writing a new message since the list is wackily rejecting mail.
Total light is an interesting concept, and it is not clear that it makes sense. One could measure an energy flavor of illuminance and thus the units would be lux-s or lux-hours. However, lux is a perceptual unit across wavelength, and that raises the question as to how 1 lux for an hour compares to 3600 lux for 1s and then total darkness the rest of the hour. That's extreme, but still. One could also integrate a radiometric measurement, taking W/m^2 and ending up with J/m^2. This makes clearer physical sense. I am curious what the conceptual basis and rationale is for what Acurite is graphing. I'm not saying it doesn't make sense, just that it immediately seems very tricky. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
