[wxqc] Errant Station Data

[Dave Helms]

Hi John,

The analysis for your station's location looks reasonably stable for the 
last couple days:

Hard to say what station is making the dew point analysis a bit 
squirely.... oops found it:
http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/qchart/C6611?date=20070301&addnl=KNXX&addnl=KLOM&Add+to+charts=Add+to+charts&.cgifields=addnl

Willow Grove Naval Air Station's (KNXX) temperature!  I guess the KNXX's 
anomalously high temperature is causing the analysis RH to be 
erroroneously too low.  Bad Navy Aerographers!  The observer must have 
been sipping the groge during sling psychrometer class.  Actually, the 
base is getting BRAC's and services outsourced.  Maybe you can gove a 
call to the base operator and ask for the weather station to alert them 
of the problem?

Answering your question, MADIS staff can remove a station from the 
analysis if it is non-CWOP, or we can play data police (as I was 
recently accused of) and put a CWOP station on the "unvalidated" list if 
repairs are not planned.  Putting active CWOP stations on the inactive 
list of done as a last result.
