[wxqc] CWOP Summary info

[Chris Flory]

Ok, to save some typing for folks that wish to respond, I did some reading
here:

http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/MADIS_Overview/MADIS_Overview.html

on MADIS workings, and it makes more sense to me now.  

Thanks!  :)

-Chris

Keith, good point, I will take your advice.

Forgive me as I don't fully understand how MADIS works, and hopefully I'm
not being a pest about this, but how does one 'correct' MADIS if and when I
do get my data verified as accurate?

If each station surrounding me is reporting bad data, skewing MADIS, I could
potentially be always reporting bad data from here on out?  Or is there some
higher level of checks that goes on to ensure that does not happen?

It is probably just something I'm not understanding in the background, but
I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance for yours or any others input.

-Chris

The analysis is only comparing your data to what else has been seen from
stations near you. It has no way of knowing what is correct. If there are
stations near you sending bad data, it may effect your analysis.

Never try to get your data to "match up", better to make an attempt to
verify the accuracy of your data.
