[wxqc] Dew Point error on Honeywell station

[Rich Ochs]

Hello everyone,

I got myself a Honeywell/Irox TE923W a couple of months ago and have been uploading my data to FindU and MADIS for about a month using WeatherDisplay Lite.  I live in an area very close to a mountain range and canyons so we have an odd microclimate.  I have been having issues with my dewpoint readings according to the MADIS quality control.  I'm off by -2.8 degrees F when the standard deviation is 2.9.  The link to my MADIS qc page is:

The Honeywell has a thermohygrometer which I have sited in the shade on a corner of my cabin about 4 feet off of the ground.  I can't seem to figure out a way to calibrate it, and I'm not sure if this is a siting issue.  I do not have a sling psychrometer, so I really have no other way of checking the local humidity.  If anyone has any suggestions, or knows how to calibrate the Honeywell TE923W or WeatherDisplay Lite I would greatly appreciate it.

Rich
