Configuring Turbulence

Figure 1. The Turbulence product in the Weather Products pane

The Turbulence product shows a number of bars that are each Step size wide. The actual time span displayed will be equal to or higher than the Display time span value, so that only entire bars will be shown.

For example, a Display time span of 20 minutes with a Step size of 2 minutes will result in 10 bars, and the actual time span shown will be 20 minutes. However, a Display time span of 21 minutes with a Step size of 5 minutes will result in 5 bars, and the actual time span shown will be 25 minutes.
