[wxqc] FW: Weather data quality report for 2006-11-01 - cw6551

[Dave Helms]

Hi Bob,

The MADIS QCMS statistics show your station has virtually perfect 
performance, e.g., 0 (zero) questionable reports of a total 94 reports 
for altimeter (pressure), potential temperature, wind speed, and wind 
direction, with 3 questionable (not not necessarily bad) dew point 
reports. 

On your Quality Monitoring page you have all green checks and double 
thumbs up.  So, the QC statistics almost always consider your data to be 
in great shape.  The two station you list look good too, except their 
pressures are off a bit. 

If you want to say 'howdy' to your neighbors, you will find their email 
addresses on you state CWOP page, http://www.wxqa.com/states/NY.html. 
Folks can be sensitive about criticism, so we always encourage members 
to use maximum diplomacy when making suggestions to fellow members.

Regards,

Dave
CW0351
