[wxqc] Barometric Pressure Errors

[Wayne Firth]

Chris,

I installed a new Davis Envoy and the pressure was off consistantly as compare with the other stations in the area. I waited for a day when every airport for about 100 miles around was reporting exactly the same pressure. I thought it was safe to make the adjustment in the software. It has been tracking the local stations pretty well ever since. I'm at 520 ft.

  Searching the "Net" to try to figure out why my brand new Vantage Pro 2 barometer tracks 3 or 4 mb's plus or minis over a period of a few days. I ran across your inquire as to the same problem.  Notice your quality checks are 2 thumbs up now. May I ask what did you finely do to correct this, set to zero elevation? I am at 5454ft.

  My old weather monitor II was just set to zero and I added 5.35 inches through software for years with great results.

   

  I found lots of references but no solutions.

  I would greatly like to know what you ended up doing.
