Well flow rate
|
Flow rate from well while pumping |
ACCEPTED |
Wellhead pressure
|
The pressure exerted by the fluid at the wellhead or casinghead after the well has been shut off for a period of time, typically 24 hours |
ACCEPTED |
Wet-bulb temperature
|
Isobaric wet-bulb temperature: the temperature an air parcel would have if cooled adiabatically to saturation at constant pressure by evaporation of water into it, all latent heat being supplied by the parcel.
Or from wikipedia: The wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is the temperature read by a thermometer covered in cloth which has been soaked in water at ambient temperature (a wet-bulb thermometer) and over which air is passed. At 100% relative humidity, the wet-bulb temperature is equal to the air temperature (dry-bulb temperature); at lower humidity the wet-bulb temperature is lower than dry-bulb temperature because of evaporative cooling |

Wind chill
|
The effect of wind on the temperature felt on human skin. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind component, eastward
|
"Eastward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind component, northward
|
"Northward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed northward (negative southward). Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind direction
|
The direction of the air (absolute) in the atmosphere (from direction). Wind direction 0…360°, where 0° is north. Please note a different reference direction in the sensor description. Default min/max values according to WMO quality control Guidelines. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind direction standard deviation
|
Standard deviation of wind direction in degree. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind gust direction
|
Direction of gusts of wind |
ACCEPTED |
Wind gust speed
|
Speed of gusts of wind |
ACCEPTED |
Wind Run
|
The length of flow of air past a point over a time interval. Windspeed times the interval of time. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind speed
|
The speed of the air (absolute) in the atmosphere. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind speed, lateral
|
The speed of the air (absolute) in the atmosphere. Lateral component of wind speed. |
ACCEPTED |
Wind stress
|
Drag or trangential force per unit area exerted on a surface by the adjacent layer of moving air |
ACCEPTED |
