APRS - West Island Weather Data

www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?KA1WBH

WIWS data and graphs can be viewed on this site. The information is uploaded every 10 minutes 24/7. This site has many links to Amatuer radio and NOAA web sites. The Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is a private-public partnership with three main goals: 1) to collect weather data contributed by citizens; 2) to make these data available for weather services and homeland security; and 3) to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality. In fact, the web address, wxqa.com, stands for weather quality assurance. There are over 6,000 registered CWOP members world wide and a graph of the number of North American CWOP stations sending data over the past four days is shown under the older name APRSWXNET. The number of world-wide citizen weather stations sending data through APRS-IS (Internet-Service) is shown for the past 4 years. CWOP members send their weather data by internet alone and internet-wireless combination to the findU server and then every 15 minutes, the entire data set is sent from the findU server to the NOAA MADIS server. The data are checked for quality and then redistributed to users. There are over 500 different user organizations of mesonet data.

Two dedicated weather spotters Tom Carr - WA1KDD (Acushnet,MA) and Dennis Bollea - N1WJI (Fairhaven, Ma) Review the weather that was through detailed observations from their locations. Here's an example of Dennis Bollea's comments for May 2009: Comments: Lots of cloudy rainy days this May in Fairhaven. 16 days had measurable precipitation. Sunshine was rather scarce with 14 days judged to be predominantly overcast and just 4 days being judged clear...The first half of the month was on the warm side of normal and the end was kind of cool.The month ended up being 0.2 degrees above normal...The spring season was wet with normal temperatures." Tom Carr's comments May 2009: A warmer than normal May with somewhat above normal precipitation here in Acushnet. It was the wettest May since 2007 which saw 7.43" of precipitation. May 2007 was the wettest on my 31 years of record. The first 9 days of May 2009 where ugly with some rainfall eachday for a total of 2.49" for the period. A very unstable atmosphere on the 12th.produced thunder here by early afternoon with small soft hail ( groupal ) and 0.45" of rain. Yet another round of unsettled weather occurred from the 14-18th. of May with 0.86" of rain and drizzle and fog. Most of their reports are kept on this page so one review back several months.
