A short intro on weather effects for spraying is available in this pamphlet from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Weather for Pesticide Spraying. The preferred conditions for spraying are with a Delta T between 2 and 8 - if it is higher then for the same effectiveness you may need to increase application rates - with the resultant cost as well as potential environmental side effects. When spraying pesticides/herbicides, if the Delta T is too high the evaporation rate will also be too high, reducing the droplet life and therefore reducing the effectiveness of the spray. The higher the Delta T the higher the evaporation rate. Delta T is the difference between wet bulb and dry bulb, and it is indicative of evaporation rate. MikeGF has graciously continued AppleScript synthetic channel to compute Delta T. Forwarding Growl notifications to an iOS device using Prowl.Disabling Growl notifications when not desired (such as on vacation).Tips and tricks for using the WeatherCat Scripts See WeatherCat Scripts of for more details and download. Can be used with WeatherCat's shutdown action feature to stop all the desired AppleScripts automatically when WeatherCat quits. Stop WeatherCat Scripts - An AppleScript to shutdown some or all of the AppleScripts above that run continuously. Can be used with WeatherCat's startup action feature to launch all the desired AppleScripts automatically. Start WeatherCat Scripts - An AppleScript that can be used to start some or all of the AppleScripts above that run continuously. This AppleScript allows one to incorporate data from many of the AppleScripts in this collection into web pages generated by WeatherCat such as cumulative evapotranspiration data and Zambretti forecasts. WC AppleScript Tags Processor - An AppleScript that processes pseudo web-tags of the same sort as used by WeatherCat. It uses the methodology developed by Negretti and Zambra in their mechanical "slide rule" forecast calculator of 1915. WC Zambretti Forecaster - An AppleScript to generate forecasts from WeatherCat current conditions. However, it is still included as it could be a useful starting point for a custom upload script to some other service. This AppleScript is deprecated since WeatherCat provides superior facilities to upload data to all the services supported by this AppleScript. WC Web Data Uploader - An AppleScript extension to WeatherCat to upload data to several weather upload Websites. WC Twitter Uploader - An AppleScript extension to WeatherCat to upload data to Twitter. WC temperature rising and WC temperature falling - Two AppleScripts to create Growl notifications from WeatherCat temperature alerts. Alerts can be displayed via Growl or email. WC Storm Monitor - An AppleScript tool for generating wind, rainfall, and barometric pressure change alerts from WeatherCat. WC Status Growler - An AppleScript tool for reporting the status of various WeatherCat subsystems via Growl.
Data can be displayed via Growl or email.
Owners of Davis Vantage Pro-2 stations fitted with a solar radiation sensor can also use the script to compile data using the more accurate Penman-Monteith equation. This AppleScript can compute evapotranspiration using the Blaney-Criddle equation. WC ET Reporter - An AppleScript tool for computing and reporting Evapotranspiration data from WeatherCat.
