Wally,

Could you add Canadian stations CYPO and CYAT to the list?

Thanks,
Bob

Latest updated station file for DA 2.xx and 3.xx

I'm no longer updating surface.dat of 1.xx, and earlier.

New stations since last update.
KBRY Bardstown KY
KX07 Lake Wales FL
KPLD Portland IN
KPMH Portsmouth OH
KGNB Granby CO
KAAS Campbellsville KY
KFRH French Lick IN
KRKW Rockwood TN
KVBW Bridgewater VA
K2M2 Lawrenceburg TN
KGCY Greeneville TN
KM02 Dickson TN (Corrected from KMO2)
KXNX Gallatin TN*

* Not new but with new ID. Will NOT plot unless you use this updated file.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Browse to
http://weatherroanoke.com/location-identifier-list.csv
do download.
Find your directory at

C:\Users\YOUR USER ACCOUNT NAME\AppData\Local\DigitalAtmosphere
and/or
C:\Users\YOUR USER ACCOUNT NAME\AppData\Local\DigitalAtmosphere2017

Back up original, then overwrite or simply put in the directory.
If you can't find the original, you are not in the right directory.

THEN YOU MUST:
Go to FILE, Station Tables, Import default LIL location Table
--ON NEW VERSION-- choose "restore default location tables"

You're done! This is the way I do it, and it seems to work.

Wally,
I'm getting an error message when I try to import the csv file. I also noticed that under File, Station Tables, Import a MLID Location table...…..this is different from earlier versions of DA. Yes, I saved your cvs file to the proper directory and it asked to overwrite (Yes, I have a backup up copy).


I wonder if its got to do with Tim's naming of "master-location-identifier-database.csv" name or file structure as his is 10,215 kb and yours is 1,843 kb.

Yes. I get same error for MLID choice.
Just choose "restore default location tables." It worked for me. And, I see the new stations.

Wally,

Are you using 3.06a by any chance? I see a number of upper air locations not showing up compared to 2.09. For North America, WMO's 71081, 71908, 72649, 72558, 74560, 72469, 74389, 72501. And perhaps some others I'm missing.

Would you know the fix for this?

thanks

Interesting. Was that true for the original station file given for 3.x?

I am also working with 3.07.

Hmmm, I see them in the station file (same one I've been using with v.2.0x for some time). So, are they not plotting? Maybe they are not converting to digatmos.s** files when compiled for some reason. I'll need to try to plot to verify.
