[wxqc] Katabatic Wind Heat Spikes?

[Russ Chadwick]

Sam,
 
The equipment is a 1-Wire weather station with the T238 interface and
there is a link to info on the upper right side of www.wxqa.com
 
The weather station is located at my home NE of Boulder about 63 blocks
east and slightly lower of where the front range of the mountains start.
The local area is generally flat, but there are local effects as
evidenced by the fact that in the spring our flowering shrubs are always
1-2 weeks behind the flowering shrubs in Boulder.

Russ,

    I noticed mention of "homebrew" on Philips page about your station.
Is that the wx station or the software, or perhaps both ?  From the
looks of your graphs, it would appear your instrumentation needs some
tweaking :-)  Is that station remote by any chance?  Reason I ask, is
elevation.  Are you up that high in the hills?  I'm not familiar with
that area of the state, only around COS.   If things work right, I might
be spending a week in Boulder come June or July when the next WRF class
starts up...

Sam
