[wxqc] Software DP calculations

[Sam Drinkard]

    I'd like to know for sure the DP calculations being done by the 
various wx software packages is correct.  I'd think it would be, but 
perhaps somehow something gets trashed a little causing wild 
fluctuations in outputted dewpoints.  Given the fact that some flakey 
data can throw off the analysis for a "cluster" of stations, does the QC 
not have a feature or function that looks at all the peer stations and 
throw out the "offending" one?  Is it in fact working?  Maybe I am 
paranoid a bit about minor things, but if I'm going to send wx data, I 
want to know what I send is of the highest accuracy that can be had from 
a "consumer grade" wx station.  Watching the trends via Phill's graphs, 
it appears that my DP is going from bad to worse, and daily abberations 
are increasing.  (Dave/Sandy, can you peek at what I've been producing 
and tell me if I need to look for some problem, or is there some ragged 
data causing the increasing Std Dev's ?) If I recall, Dave mentioned 
something to the effect that software chnages were forthcoming in the 
WXQC to better handle flakey station data.  Any timeframe for 
implementation?
