New YouTube help videos for setting up WD :)

any requests?
:wink:

maybe one on transferring from one computer to another or upgrading from ver 81 to the latest version.

Steve

yeah, the transfering WD and getting settings to me (related) I was thinking of doing, good idea, will do those today

I have added a video for backing up settings files/transfering WD to a new pc (basic outline )

Getting missing data from WU and preparing it for upload to WD

Replacing missing NOAA reports.

Searched for both but think they might have gone down with the drive failure.

Thanks.

re #2, do you mean like from view, avt ext, re create?
and re #1 do you mean to import into WD (instead of upload?)

As an example, please see http://tiggrweather.net/wxbarosummary.php. I started in 4/2006, and the black holes between then and now used to have data. Don’t know how it got lost. I got a lot filled in by downloading all WU data for a full month (day by day unfortunately), then putting that into a single file (something like 82010wu.csv), and then getting that to wind up in WD filling in a missing month of soup to nuts data. When my HD crashed so did my instructions and all the data I had previously loaded.

The NOAA Report and Monthly Report normally created at 0000; e.g., dailynoaareport, etc. Yes, recreate and import.

Thanks.

I have now added a video on how to recreate and upload a NOAA report

re your baro script, does that use the month/year stamped dailynoaareport.htm for data?

Thank you!

Yes, I believe so. It’s part of Murry’s nifty wxreports package.

then by uploading any missing dailynoaa reports that should come correct

I will add a video today of how to use wunderground data to fill in missing data in WD

The barometer (and dewpoint & wetbulb) scripts use the climatedataout files, not the NOAA reports.
The ‘holes’ are because the climatedataout files for those months are not on your website. If they are not in the webfiles of WD,
recreate the climatedataout files for the needed months and upload.

thanks Murray
viewing a missing detailed climate data in WD will create a date stamped output file
e.g if you view month 6 2008 a climatedataout62008.html file will get created in the web files folder so you can upload that

Murry, thanks for the correction.

Brian, tried a number of the blank dates I have showing. The files were created, but are essentially blank as far as data is concerned. Please see attachment (it’s the same for all I tried and for the full month - didn’t want to waste the space).

Thanks.


try converting that months logfile to date file
(there is now a youtube video on that)

Trying to start with the oldest - 52006, 52007, 52008, then 62006, etc. There are NO lg.txt files for any of those, nor any of the others that are missing. Also, it’s not only the baro data (that link was just an example), but ALL Wx data for the blank items shown on that link - http://tiggrweather.net/wxbarosummary.php - temp, rain, wind, etc., etc. Use the WX Summary item on the nav bar to see any others. The same months/years are missing data.

Thanks.

what happened to your data to loose it like that?

Brian, really wish I knew. Over 5 years of recent good data, but that huge missing chunk early on. As mentioned, I remember having to get the data from WU day by day (they don’t offer getting a full month at a time, or at least not the last time I looked), then combining that into one monthly file, etc., etc. It’s the etc., etc., that I’ve forgotten how to do.

Thanks.

I am going to do that video next…
but I am thinking I could automate that process…in WD…in an added function…or even a separate .exe…which you would leave running to do its thing…good idea?

Absolutely! Anything you can do to make it easier on this old withering brain will be most appreciated! :smiley:

Just discovered the YouTube videos. Nice job Brian! =D>
