Topic: pressure errors??

[blackjack52]

OK, now what about what is entered in your Davis console    
And, what does VWSs calibration window show /SETTINGS/CALIBRATION  

The only thing that looks strange is under Air Calc.....the baro is in both ''Hg and mb and the Corrected Temp which seems very high.

console read exact same as vws and in calibration on vws offset=0 gain=1 for everything all settings...

But Lee,
If you look at http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/D0711, you will see the location pin is about 500 feet down the hill from the 3393 elevation. Now maybe the pin location is wrong or the lat & long is wrong or the elev is wrong OR maybe everything is correct and all the neighbors are wrong BUT the pin on the topo is NOT at 3393, unless, of course, the contour lines are wrong!

i reset all my lats and longs to google earth(didnt have to change much really just the elavation) so maybe the reset will help?

just the elavation)

What did you change the elevation to?

I agree, after looking at the topo.  I would trust that more.  According to that, about 3340' vice 3393'.  I'm just curious why the Air calc is in 2 diff measurands, ''Hg and mb.  I know there was a change and I'm on p50 vice p53 that he's on, but it should be using the same measurement.

[offroadjosh]

this is my info now...

lat- 48.150754
Long- -144.422120

Elev- 3276

You'llhave to wait for the qc to stabilize.  I see when you made the change.  I doubt the topo is wrong, but the clickable db on the map seems to be off significantly.  If you  click at the 3400' EL marker, it says 3500' something.

[offroadjosh]

about how long will i have to wait??


Josh

[offroadjosh]

!!  i emailed cwop people to see what else i could do to get my pres correct..... here is the email i got in responce.. maybe this was my problem all along?.. but my console still reads high pressure...

Josh,

I've made the changes to your meta data in the CWOP database and you can check here this evening,

http://www.wxqa.com/search.htm

The changes will flow to MADIS and to MesoWest within the next week.  We've determined that there is a reference problem in some USGS topo maps on the web and that was the problem you ran into.  Ideally, the USGS maps should match Google Earth very closely, but in this case they did not.

kinda odd huh?

lol hope this atleast helps my problem

George was right. 

When in doubt, always go w/ the topo.  They've been around longer.

sounds like my console is dead now talked to davis=\


josh

[blackjack52]

I'm still curious why your Corrected press is 1037.29mb, but your local is 27.06''.

I just updated and am testing p56 and the measurands are the same...both in ''.

[offroadjosh]

pressure seems fine now but either my logger or my console... or both are toasted=\

How do you know your SLP is OK if your console does not work?

[offroadjosh]

console works fine normally... but when booting it up i only get 2 beeps with the logger in and it booted funny all garbled... so davis is  gunna call me tmrw with a plan of attack, either replace logger and console, or  just logger, or just console...  we will see..
