    A ThirdAveSuite tutorial has been written to introduce the user to the features of this application and its use. Please select
    the following link to view it: <A HREF="Tutorial/ThirdAveSuiteTutorial.pdf">Tutorial</A>.<P>

    <H1>ThirdAveSuite, Current Version is 4.1</H1>

    ThirdAveSuite is an iPhone/iPad/AppleWatch application that is dedicated to monitoring the Third Avenue kiteboarding and
    sailboarding weather instrument and Webcam mounted on top of the Gilead Sciences building at 303 Velocity Way
    in Foster City, CA.<P>

    The weather instrument being used is a Davis Vantage Pro2, and the weather information is served using a
    Meteohub weather server. The data is collected every 15 seconds (or so) and posted in Weather Display Live format
    to the Arbor-Studios website. The data is acquired on the same schedule by the iPhone application.<P>
    ThirdAveWind displays different background images and audio based on wind speed and direction.<P>
    The default setting for audio is OFF as a consideration to those who might be checking conditions at 3rd during
    meetings.<P>

    The Webcam is an AXIS Pan Tilt Zoom network camera that takes 12 static images and then an additional 28 images that
    are stitched into a panoramic view of the site, approximately 200 degrees from northboard facing Third Ave to past the
    southbound facing Third Ave. The images are updated approximately every 5 minutes 24 hours a day, and at night the
    camera switches to infrared views.

    <H2>Differences with Flash Weather Web Site</H2>

    In April, 2010, an experimental version of ThirdAveWind (and ThirdAveSuite) was deployed
    that eliminates the conversion from knots to mph for wind speed values. The
    intention of this change was to accommodate the differences between observed
    wind speed values on the EFI roof, where the weather sensors are located, and the
    observed wind speed values at the corner by the sailboarding ramp. Since that
    deployment the values displayed in these apps have been aligned much better with the observed
    values at the sailboard ramp. In fact, the values in the apps now appear to be
    between the values at the sailboard ramp and the values at the channel marker, whereas the values 
    from the weather sensor align better with the values at the channel marker or values at the SFO 
    sensor. As such, this change has been made permanent, and users of ThirdAveWind and ThirdAveSuite should 
    know that the values displayed in these apps are not observed values but are intended to comply with
    our goal of providing accurate information on the kiting/sailboarding conditions
    at 3rd Avenue.

    <H2>Proviso</H2>

    ThirdAveSuite was designed to work on Apple LTE-generation iPhones running iOS 9 or better. It will no longer
    work with earlier iPhone models. If you find that the application is crashing on startup please contact 
    ArborStudios and we will try to help diagnose the problem.</P>

    <H2>Future Plans/Improvements</H2>

    <UL>
      <LI>Maybe build a version that adds some of the webcam images to the Apple Watch app.
