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

[Bob Rathke]

Dave,
 
Thanks for the information, and the web page to locate contacts. I here ya on the diplomacy! 
I live closer to the lake than most of the stations in my area, so things are not going to be exactly the same! This time of year the warmer Lake Ontario water has a significant impact on my conditions! We had our first snowfall last night!
 
Bob

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
