[wxqc] Temperature "errors"

[Allan Seymour]

Evan you seem to be the right person to direct this to. I originally sent it
to Dave Helms.

 

Dave, I am having a problem getting my dewpoint data to fit the criteria of
CWOP. I have a Davis Vantage Pro with the wireless installation. I am not
having any wireless problems.  The sensors are sited over a grassy area with
at least 300 feet from any trees and about 5 feet off the ground on the
Davis tripod.. Sensors are the fan aspirated group housed in the Davis
supplied shield. Fan is set to run all the time. If you check my data
quality you will see that dewpoint is always off.  CW1490  I am about to
mount anemometer on a 30 foot telephone pole which should get more accurate
reading of wind speed.

 I am a fussy type of person and want to supply you all with the most
accurate data I can. Do you have any suggestions to help?  The only thing I
can think of is that we do have quite a lot of fog here due to the river
valley we are located in and that keeps it more moist here until it burns
off.  Thanks for any help you can give. Maybe I am trying to get my data to
fit when its just my location.
