5.6.8 Winds/Temperatures Aloft
The Winds Aloft screen displays the forecast wind speed, direction and temperature at
the selected altitude above MSL on a basic weather map (
Figure 5-92
).
Wind direction is depicted by wind pointer lines extending upwind from the reporting
weather station (the small dot on the bottom of the shaft). Wind speed is depicted
by pennants or short lines (barbs) on the upwind end of the shaft. Each short barb
represents 5 kts, each long barb represents 10 kts and a pennant represents 50 kts. Wind
pointer lines can depict winds up to 190 kts (3 pennants and 4 long barbs). The Winds
Aloft legend provides a depiction of each type of measurement (
Figure 5-93
).
NOTE
For XM Weather, Wind barbs are shown as a matrix, not at reporting stations and
Temperatures are not shown.
