[wxqc] Dewpoint Error

[steve]

argggggg!!!!!
   
  I finally disassembled my Davis Vantage Pro station sensor assembly only to find the gauze shield was pushed aside in one corner and either an ant or a termite had tried to make a nest in the same area(also could have been a "mud dauber").
   
  I have cleaned up the "area" and pushed the gauze back in place after sliding out the gauze shield and replacing the gauze and then the shield.
   
  A tremendous spike at around 1600EST on 05/07/2007 when the work was carried out and my offset set back to zero...now lets see the world 5return to normality!! <G>
  Best regards,

    I am very puzzled!
   
  My dewpoint on a daily basis is being recorded as in error (on the high side) and has been doing this on and off for several months now.
   
  In the absence of a Sling Psychrometer I have made a slight adjustment to the stations sensor until I can actually lay my hands on one!
   
  The part that puzzles me is that since I have made the adjustment to my station (about 5 days ago) and the graph seems right on the money I still get the dreaded red x at 97% accuracy, AND as I said earlier this problem has been plaguing me for a month or so, SO WHY if I look at the daily graph,
  http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/AS132  I see the red x but over 3 days or longer I get 100% accuracy and a green tick,
  http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/AS132?tile=10;days=3#Data
   
  There are enough stations in the immediate area to get a good average against so until I can either make or obtain a Sling Psychrometer, I will remain perplexed and puzzled as to the difference 2 days make to an ongoing problem!
   
  Anyone in the Charlotte, NC area care to lend me a sling? (or check my station sensor if their close by)?
