Support US (Imperial) Units in Dashboard #467

Open awig opened 1 year ago

awig commented 1 year ago

I see 2 options for this:

  1. Frontend only supported - Could be dropdown for relevant entries and just converted to units on the dashboard so that the database should all be stored in same units. Probably the simpler solution.

  2. Backend supported - could be a configuration parameter for a Site and automatically required for all Observations/Forecasts for that Site. Probably much more difficult. Big question whether any problems with Database support and limitations on Aggregates.

@wholmgren was this ever discussed and any plans that you can remember?

Mentioned on utility training call

I don't recall discussing it. Possible that we discussed it and almost immediately rejected it. I am pretty sure we would have gone with your option 1 if we had done it.

I agree. Thanks, Will!
