[wxqc] Re: wxqc Digest, dew point errors

[Bill Simm]

Hi there,
   Thanks Tim and Ken for your reply to my dew error query.   The tips and 
info you gave have been very helpful and useful.   I should have mention my 
station Id, it is AS082 and I am in Manitoba Canada.   My wxstation is an 
Oregon Scientific model WMR968.   I noticed Tim that in your last quality 
report you were getting exactly the same dew point error report as myself. 
I am becoming satisfied there nothing wrong with my sensor,  it windy today 
and I am getting very nearly the same reading those wx stations near me, I 
am within a degree of them.   Its quite clear to me from what you guys have 
said that local conditions, proximity of water, vegetation and elevation 
will result in substantial variations from the Madis analysis.
   In actuality it seems to me that the variations are not really errors but 
actual microclimate conditions in the immediate area of the sensor.  Which 
is probably useful info in and of  itself.

                                 Many thanks,
                                                  Bill Simm,  AS082
