Weather Station Location Information
-
Background: I happened to notice the lat and long of a weather station near me is incorrect. I checked the coordinates against the National Data Buoy website and found it is wrong, too. Long story short, the gov moved the station a short distance away after Hurricane Michael. I emailed the National Data Buoy Center and surprise they agreed and updated the their website. I checked Windy to see if it had changed and it hasn't, not yet anyway. The station is PACF1, a US Government facility. The correct location is 30°8'59" N 85°39'52" W.
Question: Where does Windy draw the station information? Should it update when the source updates? So far, I know the National Data Buoy Center and Tides and Currents, both under NOAA, give information on this station, and the coordinates match. There may be others.
