<DIV>I am noticing that the data being reported on my mesowest chart is no
longer at even intervals. <A

It is showing data at 10, 15 and 20 minute intervals. I upload my data on
5 minute intervals and I think the mesowest previously reported on 15
minute intervals. </DIV>
<DIV>Question: Is this normal?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My uploads at <A

listed as expected at 5 minute intervals so the variance doesn't
appear to be caused by my equipment. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Question: Will this inconsistency in recording frequency have
anything to do with Quality checks?</DIV>

<DIV>site be used to provide any valuable information for adjustments on my
weather station? Example, my daily quality checks show my current
barometer settings passing but the Regressive chart shows me slightly
high. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Last Question: Is there a chart to show the correlation from
headings to data in the Daily Quality Reports? I have a good idea of
what it is trying to tell us but two lines of headings and two lines of
data seem subject to interpretation errors? </DIV>
<DIV>sample:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> DATE UTC
SITE * ALT * POT TEMP * DEW PNT
* DD *
FF
<BR>
* (MB) * (DEG F) * (DEG F) *
(DEG) * (KNT) <BR>04-MAY-2006 Errs
CW4759 * 0/96 * 0/96
* 2/96 * 0/96 *
0/96 <BR>04-MAY-2006 Smry CW4759
*0.24(0.81)*0.41(3.13)*-3.2(2.39)*7.96(100.)* 1(1.89)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First line..........Errs<BR> </DIV>
<DIV>Date - no problem, easy to understand</DIV>
<DIV>UTC - Will show UTC time for errors when listed in detail, no question
(Yep, I've had errors show up too!)</DIV>
<DIV>Site - no problem</DIV>
<DIV>ALT - Altimeter shows zero errors of 96 comparisons</DIV>
<DIV>POT TEMP - Temp shows zero errors of 96 comparisons (ok, I'm new, what is
POT Temp?)</DIV>
<DIV>DEW PNT - Dew Point show 2 errors of 96 comparisons</DIV>
<DIV>DD - Wind Direction? shows zero errors of 96 comparisons</DIV>
<DIV>FF - Don't know what this is...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second line...........Smry</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(MB) - Millibars? expected .24 (observed .81) assuming this is the
difference between what the analysis expected and what it observed? How is it
summarized? Average error over 24 hours?</DIV>
<DIV>(DEG F) - Temp? - expected .41 (observed 3.13) analysis expected a
difference of .41 but saw 3.13?</DIV>
<DIV>(DEG F) - Temp? Dew Point? - -3.12/2.39 says my readings are high?</DIV>
<DIV>(DEG) - Wind Direction 7.96/100 - I have no idea what this
means</DIV>
<DIV>(KNT) - Wind speed in knots - 1/1.89, again, no idea</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If there is a location available to us to answer these questions, I haven't
found it or noticed it presented to others who have eluded to these
questions. I hope asking in this way will be helpful for all of us.</DIV>
