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

When I've inquired about similar situations, I've been told it's the FAA's
baby! 

 

Bureaucratic wheels turn slowly!

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

 

jk
