RE: Vocabulary for weather data logging?

It's rather long-in-the-tooth (with some poor modelling choices), but there's always:

We included it in the 'Linked Services' for weather (updated for OWL) due to its long-standing and close fit with METAR reports.

Subject: Vocabulary for weather data logging?
 
Hello,

I am thinking of doing some weather data logging as RDF. Is there an existing vocabulary for logging temperature, pressure, wind speed etc ?

I guess that the Event Ontology would be a good starting point.

On a related note, how wrong is it to encode the unit of measurement (eg Centigrade) as a datatype?
