[wxqc] KCLK now 6 degrees too low - NWS gives a youknowwhat?

[weatherok at pldi.net]

Hi,

I'm somewhat surprises about the sloppy approach of NWS towards crappy
quality of weather data in the AWOS network. Months ago I have learned
that KCLK is not a real NOAA station but somehow yes, at that time i t was
about 4 degrees too low. Meanwhile the temp sensor is running away to a 6
degree error, but either the airport or Vaisala (I've been told it's their
sensors) or the NWS or all people involved don't care.

Almost bizarre how motivated amateurs are to elimate their "Gladstone
errors" when we see a really bad "official" station delivering that amount
of bad data.

This problem has been discussed here a while ago, but obviously without
the least bit of consequences - surprisingly for me. What do you folks
think?

Thanks
