[wxqc] RE: Dew Point Observation at my station

[rich mauser]

It would be interesting to see if other stations left and right of the plume
(the wind blowing across the water surface, hitting land and widening out)
have been affected. Also, it would be interesting to talk to any
interpretive naturalist about changes around the lakes since the building of
the dams, in your case what changes have occurred due to the increase of
humidity and how the climate has changed.

All in all I agree with Gerry Creager, another example of a microclimate.

At my station we seem to get wind most of the time any ware from 10 to 35
mph. from the North starting in October/November and from the South from
March/April.
I noticed that when the wind turned to from the south my Dew Point QA graph
came into tolerance. My theory is, Davis Dam is 2.5 - 3 miles NW as the crow
flies from my station. Davis Dam is the first Dam below Hover / Bolder Dam
and forms Lake Mohave. My theory is, could I be picking up humidity from the
lake when the wind is blowing from the north causing my Dew Point to be out
of tolerance.

Thanks
Jim

Yet another example of a legitimate microclimate.
