URMA winds in Ohio vs PA

Youngling Posts: 90 Join Date: 9/24/12 Recent Posts
Hello all:  I was wondering if the Ohio DOT network is automatically rejected?   

The new URMA closely matches METARs in PA but still seems to drag down the winds from the first guess in nearby Ohio.   I have attached some examples from the past couple of days.

Hi Jeff,

The OHDOT provider is trusted, meaning these observations will be used in RTMA/URMA provided they pass the QC checks.  A subset of these stations are, however, flagged on the SDM reject list for wind: OH005, OH049, OH050, OH073, OH075, OH082, and OH099 [list is not exhaustive].

Thanks,
Matt
