The generator added 0.05 hPa of measurement noise where a real board shows 0.0224 hPa as the sd of the change between 30 s samples. Twice the noise flatters any smoother tested against it and understates the skill available at short lead, which is where the pressure heads were already weakest. Correcting my own earlier claim: I reported the simulator's pressure as 60x too noisy. That figure came from comparing the old local database, whose rows are hourly-tier aggregates spanning 251 days, against 30 s rows from the station. Generated like for like at matched cadence the gap is 1.9x, not 60x, and the simulator was never the blocker on pressure work that I described. A gap remains after this change: press_slp still steps 0.0415 hPa per 30 s against the station's 0.0224. That residue is the synoptic OU process moving faster than Cambridge did over these four days, which is a weather-realism question rather than a sensor one. Four days of one room is not enough to retune a synoptic model against, so it is left alone and recorded here.

"""Seed the database with synthetic history.
|
|
|
|
Why this exists: a freshly flashed Pi has no history, and a forecaster
|
|
with no history is a random number generator with a nice dashboard. This
|
|
script writes physically plausible past telemetry so you can exercise
|
|
training, verification and the whole dashboard before the real station
|
|
has logged its first night.
|
|
|
|
The generator is not a toy. It is a three-component stochastic model:
|
|
|
|
pressure Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, tau = 30 h, sigma = 9 hPa
|
|
(roughly the observed synoptic variability of NW Europe)
|
|
temperature seasonal harmonic + solar-driven diurnal cycle
|
|
+ OU anomaly (tau = 6 h), with a nocturnal inversion term
|
|
humidity driven inversely by temperature about a dew point that
|
|
itself performs a slow random walk, which is what makes
|
|
RH and T correlate the way they actually do
|
|
|
|
Everything is then pushed through the same CPU-heating and noise model
|
|
the real sensor suffers from, so a model trained here does not fall over
|
|
when it meets real data.
