STATION DATA QUALITY
The positioning and calibration of the weather station sensors has been carefully considered to maximize accuracy of the readings. We use CWOP to help make sure our data is accurate.

CWOP checks weather stations' data against one another to compare quality. This quality checker was developed by Phillip Gladstone (CW0003). Nekweather.net is automatically notified via email if any irregularities are detected. You can view today's check for this station below.

For those looking to setup their own stations, CWOP offers a guide on station setup and quality assurance. (PDF format)

The Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is a private-public partnership with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. It's three main goals: 1) to collect weather data contributed by citizens; 2) to make these data available for weather services; and 3) to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality.
