thought from a rank beginner, how about posting the ASOS/NOAA standards for all
WX data measurement everywhere you can and include the contact information for
the APRS community. Also include info for all vendors of WX HW and software.
Ask users to contact the appropriate organizations for their individual
equipment configuration requesting ASOS standards are adopted universally on
the grounds of data integrity and uniformity. I maybe wrong, but I would think
this is covered somewhere under the ISO. (Maybe) APPLES-TO-APPLES should apply
across the board to all WX measurements and data protocols universally for this
reason. As a beginner, I find this all very confusing and fascinating at the
same time. WX station ID could also fall under this standardization issue with
one ID for all networks and still be identified for their type. After all, a WX
station IS a weather station, be it private or ASOS and the others. Station
calibration could be mentioned when a new station requests registration for the
same reason of accuracy. Thanks to Russ for showing me CWOP as I came in as an
APRS station with WX.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

knows I am new to all this and need the help I receive from the list. I have
learned a lot from all of you and had many questions answered in the past 6 months
without even asking. I have many questions to ask starting with DP. How is it
derived and what data is used to calculate this value? I am working on resolving
my errors regarding this value. Phil’s charts are a blessing as I get to understand
them better. (AR689 on WXQA) I am aspirating my sensor as soon as I get to town
for supplies to see if it helps. I will also be changing location at the same
time and installing a shield according to the CWOP installation guide for
sensor sighting. I am located in a hole and close to water, with, at times very
little wind to mix the air. My HUM is always high because of this, I suspect,
and thus effecting my DP. If I have learned anything from the list, it is that
DP is as flakey as the Pillsbury Dough Boy. HEHE<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>One more
question for now. I have found a program called Digital Atmosphere Workstation
and have been using it. It models the atmosphere. Hence my question, what
elevation corresponds to the different MB levels used in the models? (i.e. 950,
900, 850 ect) Elevation is proportional to pressure due to atmosphere density
(weight), which decreases with altitude effecting BP. (Hope I got that right) I
realize this is approximate because of Temp and Hum changes also. Past discussions
about BP related to elevation and local monitored stations for comparisons has
been a great help here. More questions here later. <o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

<br>
What a nice day we're having after all these 90+ days!<br>
<br>
While I should be outside mowing my lawn and doing other things to take
advantage of the day, I'm futzing with a brand new beta release of WeatherLink
(v5.6). Actually has some substantial improvements over earlier versions,
and the big news in my book is that Davis has finally figured out the concept
of wind gusts... sorta....<br>
<br>
Now for CWOP reports, which Davis persists on calling APRS reports -
undoubtedly causing some confusion, especially for non-hams - the user can
select two different reporting formats. Classic good news and bad news in
my book. The two formats are these, differing only in wind speed and gust
reporting:<br>
<br>
The "APRS Standard" - shows one minute average wind speed and gust
within the past five minutes<br>
The "NOAA Standard" - reports two minute average wind speed and gust
within the past five minutes<br>
<br>
Now, unless I'm really missing something - always a possibility - it would seem
that the only format that CWOP/MADIS and other NOAA/NWS users would want is the
"NOAA Standard". Any suggestions on how we might get the word
out to users to utilize that standard rather than the APRS one? I will be
happy to post on the Weather Matrix forum as well as the WeatherLink forum, but
perhaps CWOP should contact Davis and request that they at least include some
language asking CWOPers to use the "NOAA Standard"?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...<br>
<br>
