re: #169 cliffster

Are they generating data or interpreting it? Because the interpreting code can be fixed and all’s well.

They were processing and putting out bad data…


“I am very sorry to report that the rest of the databases seem to be in nearly as poor a state as Australia was. There are hundreds if not thousands of pairs of dummy stations, one with no WMO and one with, usually overlapping and with the same station name and very similar coordinates. I know it could be old and new stations, but why such large overlaps if that’s the case? Aarrggghhh!”
