APRSWXNET posting my weather data to WU a second time?
« on: November 13, 2013, 07:30:36 PM »
I hope this is posted in the correct section.

I recently installed a Davis Vantage Pro2 wx station and also installed the Weatherlink IP datalogger.  I've set everything to be as accurate as possible, and connected through Weatherlink to have them send my data to CWOP and Weather Underground.  The online setup was completed about two weeks ago.

My weatherlink site is here:

WeatherUnderground site is here:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCTPLYMO2

And my CWOP ID is EW3846

Now the problem is that today November 13, it looked like another station started transmitting from the same location.  It says the data is provided by APRSWXNET and the ID is ME3846.  This had a transmission from about 11:00am to 1:00pm.  The ID is very similar to my CWOP ID.  The wind direction is slightly different, but that could be because I just adjusted the anemometer direction yesterday to more accurately abide by the MADIS QC data.

The second WU underground site is here:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=ME3846

Does anyone know if this was just part of a testing by MADIS or what might have occurred occurred.  I'm new to the internet weather data like this, and it just surprised me to see two stations located on top of one another at MY location.  I just recently retired my Heathkit ID 1290 analog station and went with this Davis unit.

Thanks for any insight into what might have occurred.

The CWOP data being placed over your Weather Underground data should go away soon. It happened to me a few weeks ago and they said it was because of system reset they (Weather Underground) did on their end.

Weather Underground already knows you are E3846

I notice that as of this morning, the second overlaying data on Weather Underground has been removed.  I didn't know whether this was a WU problem or a APRSWXNET or CWOP problem. Thank you for your reply.
