The Weather Forecasting Forum

Here is an updated station file. It contains new stations and newly updated IDs and completed data for Boone NC.
The new station tables raw file had a slight format change, so only use this with DAWS.
Back up your digatmos.stn file first. Then put in main folder. RECOMPILE TABLES as found in FILE menu.
Use at your own risk - but there really shouldn't be any, esp. if you backed up your original.

NOTE: This is just a user created modification/update. It is not particularly sanctioned by Tim. However, these stations will not plot unless you use this file.

I'm working on an equivalent update for the older DA2000. Coming soon!

I had to modify file to take Bridgeport TX out, for it was reporting totally bad data and thus messing up analyses. If this is causing problems for you, then...
