WD export - dewpoint - decimal place err? *solved*

Post by skyewright »

I noticed that the dewpoint column in the WD export mmYYYYlg.txt is a bit odd!

Code: Select all

 9  3 2008 10 59 6.3 77 260.0 971.8 10.0 9.5 236 0.0 -999 -999 -999 6.3
 9  3 2008 11  0 6.3 77 260.0 971.8 9.1 9.3 249 0.0 -999 -999 -999 6.3
 9  3 2008 11  1 6.5 77 275.0 971.8 9.7 11.5 249 0.0 -999 -999 -999 6.5
 9  3 2008 11  2 6.4 77 270.0 971.8 9.7 8.0 257 0.0 -999 -999 -999 6.4
 9  3 2008 11  3 6.5 77 280.0 971.8 8.4 10.3 239 0.0 -999 -999 -999 6.5
Is it possible that this is a decimal place problem and that 260.0 should be 2.6?

Excellent finding!
There were some missing brackets that result in multiplying the raw value that comes ahead as 1/10 degrees with 10 instead of dividing it by 10.

Will be fixed in the next update. When you do a recomputation of aggregated data then, values will be corrected.

This still seems to be faulty in 2.1d:

Code: Select all

21  3 2008  9 40 4.3 76 35.0 972.0 11.9 9.9 65 0.0 -999 -999 -999 4.3
i.e. temp 4.3 C, humidity 76%, dew point 35.0 C!
