dendrite Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I haven’t even looked at ORH. That’s Scoot and Will. I just recently mentioned BDL because it’s obvious af and Ryan said a tech is checking it out tomorrow. It’s not like I’m the lone person noticing it. And I’m not dissing the BOS ASOS. It’s more about siting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 15 minutes ago, snowman21 said: ASOS isn't really there for climate record keeping, so if a temp or humidity sensor goes wonky no one cares if it's close enough which is problematic for people that care about the integrity of the climate record. What? The vast majority of our records are from ASOS sites. Nobody cares if the Johnson Creek Mesonet hit 100. ASOS sites are typically well sited and representative of the area, of course there are exceptions. Even at Newark the actual ASOS site is not on the airport grounds but in a grassy area adjacent to the airport. The whole narrative that readings at ASOS sites are bogus is ridiculous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at Newark the actual ASOS site is not on the airport grounds but in a grassy area adjacent to the airport. The whole narrative that readings at ASOS sites are bogus is ridiculous The ASOS record began in 1996 and exists primarily for air traffic safety. For example, if the RVR, vis, CHI, wind, or pressure sensor (especially class 1 stations if any still exist) goes bad, it's getting addressed pretty quickly. If a temp, hum, or precip sensor drifts, it'll get fixed whenever because it's not critical to aviation. A lot of the disputes here are less about siting and more about suspicious measurements. The climate record even at the first order sites are mostly stitched together through time anyway using nearby stations and differing equipment since the climate records go back before airports. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole narrative that readings at ASOS sites are bogus is ridiculous I think they are just saying that if the ASOS is off a degree or two, it’s not impacting Air Traffic safety. Air safety is the sites primary reason, climate just piggybacks on it. If that thing starts giving faulty visibility and ceiling readings, folks will be on it immediately. Temps get a lot of leeway before techs are sent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Kids bouncing around pools. Outside grilling and parties. Summer as it should be. How memories are made.

The past twenty years on the forums have seen many a winter weenie become disenfranchised and start to enjoy the weather they can count on, heat and torches.

I hate to say it, but that’s how I’m starting to feel lately. I’m much more happier in the warm season. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
