error on wind values

Ok, I'm not really worried about this but I felt I should report it as it may be indicative of some deeper problem. I report to many sites etc. and one is the APARS/CWOP system. The data is screened by 'Gladstone' and they send an automated report. For some time now I've noticed that it routinely 'flags' wind values at precisely 40 minutes past the hour. Plus the wind value is always in ~40 kt range. Any thoughts?

Navigating through your pages seems to give different versions of web pages ?

The individual graphs are not working, but your combined graph and 'todays' values show no such windspeeds.

If you can't see anything in dayfile I would suggest it's not your problem.

That's a 'quality status report' send by CWOP/gladstone family. It's not a CumulusMX issue AFAIK as it happens to many of us running different weather software.

I get the same kind of indications in my daily messages too (using Weather-Display for CWOP reporting).
It's something fubar with the gladstone QC scripts .. not much to do about it but send a query to the CWOP group.

Thanks to you both.

saratogaWX, that was pretty much my thoughts. I just thought I'd bring it up in case there was something hidden in CumulusMX. I had been thinking of doing some searching in the error and data logs but chose the path of least effort (I was also looking for some company in the Covid-19 lockdown.... :lol: ). I just checked my MySQL DB for anything and it came up negative. Thanks

beteljuice, thanks for checking. My site was started as a means to have my weather available to me while traveling, I'm a retired airline pilot. Then it was a hobby, but I never persevered with setting up my computer as a server so I could "test" my pages before going live and so I just started posting my development work to the live site. Haven't been able to figure out the jpgraphs when I changed my sites to a new host and it changed the PHP. I've been spending more time lately and I'll get it.

While I'm handing out thanks I (we) owe a big one to Mark. His work is above and beyond. His work on CumulusMX is masterful. And of course we owe so much to Steve as the creator. :D :clap:
