I think the QC Analysis must still be seriously out of calibration. But I have made several changes to my station's location after moving and I just need to refresh my memory and set some things straight.
First of all I am using a Davis VP2 normally aspirated station. I also have a VUE console in the family room strictly for monitoring.
My data that goes to my WX software is fed from the Davis VP console.
I'm using Weather Display for all my translation and uploads.
I have the box ticked in the WD setup that indicates it uses Altimeter data for CWOP.
My console is displaying just what the BARO sensor sees. According to Davis ( just confirmed today), That is the correct setup. Looks terribly low in comparison to ly closest META site which is relatively close to my elevation.
I'm not convinced my QC checks are OK but I just want to make sure my system is benchmarked as close to perfect as I can get it. I understand I believe my location to be in somewhat of a microclimate also.
The main thing I need to know is that I have CWOP data configured correctly in WD or is there an outboard program that will handle this data better? The pressure that my closest METAR displays in quite different than what I am showing and I'm guessing it displays Altimeter at the METAR site. It's been quite a while since I have tried to iron out discrepancies like this and my age and other factors make me doubt my calculations LOL!
Any ideas and or methods are appreciated!
