 To be edit the Grafana sites get in touch with Delene and have him invite you to edit the Grafana site.
 To keep everything as neat as possible we want all our station data pages to look the same.
-Each station as two Grafana sites, one for all data (wind,temp,RH,ect.) and one for Visibility only. Screenshots from Glacial Ridge are attached below.

+=== Formatting a site ===
+Once the Grafana site has been created you can format it to look like the examples provided.
+Start by formatting the visibility site.
+== Visibility ==
+The visibility site consists of three data sets, visibility, extinction coefficient, and Irradiance
+you will need for panels per data set. Start by adding one panel to the site. The button is on the top right of the screen as shown in the following screenshot:
+{{:atmos:3d-paws:addpanel.jpeg?400|}}
+  *If you do not have an option to add a panel you need to contact Delene so he can invite you to edit the sites.
+After adding a new panel to the site you should now see a chart with no data
+{{:atmos:3d-paws:nodata.jpeg?400|}}
+Once you are to this step, name the panel "Last Vis."
+  *Select Transparent below the panel description to remove the background.
+  * Under the visualization tab select "stat". This will switch the panel to numbers rather than a graph.
+  * In order to display the correct data for the panel you will need to find the corresponding variable. A general rule of thumb is that irradiance is the lowest variable (i.e. 106) followed by Ext. coeff. (107) and visibility (108).
+  * To add a variable find the select measurement button in the A group of the Query tab and change it to tsdata.
+  * next press the plus button on the same line and add a var, set this to the corresponding variable for visibility. There should be data in the panel rather than the "No Data" text.
+  * To make the panel display a number only and no graph find the graph mode under the display tab and change from "area" to "none".
+  * The data for visibility is displayed in meters however we want it in kilometers. To change this go the the field tab and select meters as the unit.
+  * to change the color of the tab find thresholds under the field tab and delete the threshold associated with the red display color.
