I cleared the map and asked DA to display current data, and it is displaying other (older?) data for KMFE (& I assume for other stations?
This is not behavior I have seen… the only thing I can think of that would cause this is: • The data directory is loaded with old data somehow (this is solved by using File > Clear Data Directory and reimporting data). • You have SYNOP and METAR data mixed together in the file; Digital Atmosphere will often try to display the SYNOP data since there’s more of it, and will not display the METAR data if it’s valid for another time [this was the cause of this particular complaint]. You can display each dataset by manually setting the surface time, but of course this means you have to know which time frames are available. The best way to avoid this is to NOT download METAR and SYNOP data together. • Too much METAR data was downloaded from multiple sources; only one METAR resource should be used at a time before Internet > Retrieve is done again. Alternatively you can “lasso” the MFE plot and QC the station to see how many instances of observations exist for this station. This would be the
