Fig. 4

Comparison of average AgWeatherNet (AWN) and applicator-reported wind speeds in all crops (n = 57). Left panel (Fig. 4a) plots AWN wind speed average at start of spray on x-axis. Right panel (Fig. 4b) plots AWN wind speed average during the entire spray period on x-axis. Values in circles represent distance in miles between drift event location and nearest AWN station. The line of unity represents perfect agreement between values on the x- and y-axes. About 68% (n = 39) of AWN speeds at start of spray and 82% (n = 47) of AWN speeds during the entire spray period were higher than corresponding applicator-reported wind speeds
