cal_wind_flexure twind_flex
Specify the wind-loading flexure of the telescope.
Double twind_flex

than reported by the elevation encoder.
cal_wind_flexure 0.0000546
Note that the tail-wind is the wind blowing perpendicularly onto the back of the dish. Since the weather station reports the azimuth from which the wind is coming, whereas the telescope azimuth refers to where the telescope is pointing, the tail wind is given by:
tail_wind = wind_speed * cos((telescope_azimuth-180) - wind_azimuth)
