[wxqc] Temp Issue Maybe

[Chuck Goble]

I am new to the forum so be easy with me. I will do my best to describe 
my issue. I have a Davis VP2 wireless standard version. I am located in 
Minot, North Dakota. I don't if it is an issue or what. I had my ISS 
located on a mast on my roof along with the anemometer. The ISS was 
about 5ft above the roof top and roughly 20 ft. above the ground and my 
temp readings where within CWOP deviations. Then I relocated my ISS 
about 4.5 ft above the ground. Then my temp readings are higher and now 
red x according to CWOP. According to the manual you want it no more 
than 6 ft above the ground if I remember correctly. There is not a lot 
of trees around and for the most part it is in an area that gets plenty 
of breeze when it blows.

 The couple of questions that I have is I live right in the middle of 
town wouldn't my temps be a bit higher due to the fact being in the 
middle of town the heat will dissipate slower so my temps will be higher 
for the most part. The other two CWOP stations one is on the edge of 
town and the other one which is the airport is in the wide open area. 
I'm thinking my temps will be different than theres. My next question is 
if my temps are high and my humidity is running 4.5% drier why is my 
dewpoint almost right on. But the graph to me does not look that way. 
Maybe I am reading the graphs wrong.

I hope this is not to long. If I missed anything please let me know and 
I will get what info you need if I can. Sorry again if this is too long.

Thanks,
Chuck
