The weather instrument at this site is a Davis Vantage Pro 2 and is not rated to report accurately at temperatures colder than -40F. Also, it has been noted that when the ambient air temperature drops colder than -50F, the wireless Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather stations experience a significant drop in battery voltage. This drop in battery voltage results in a dramatic and unrealistic drop in the temperature observed by the temperature sensor. Here is a NWS Public Information Statement regarding the low temperature report at JMTA2 (Jim River DOT). Note that the manufacturer makes no claim that the station is accurate below -40F. Prior to the event, MADIS quality checking reported "...sensor is reading COLDER than expected". ]]> http://www.wxqa.com/news.html#77aa889f6ac0 here.

The more citizens contribute data to the central system, the more accurate the picture of the water situation nationwide." Microsoft (Thailand) is working with a local partner to show how to apply a location-based information system to address the flood crisis. ]]>
