<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could be. Anyway as you say re-sending the
data seemed to fix the problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>We also had a talk about the data on the
site of which he was not clear. Such as no data in some of the recent
observed fields. E.G. no gust value. While talking him through the new runway
and taxi temperature forecasts, he could not access the SFC temp map. It bombed
out 3 times. He says Java is installed. Do not know the answer to this.
Can you, or mark, please can help him?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>He also asked about Stansted and a Vaisala
link and data. This I know nothing about. I looked at the Stansted site while
talking to him and found that these two products are not available (Aberdeen,
Edinburgh and Glasgow are OK). According to him the Stansted
products should be available. Only Heathrow should still not be available.
Again, can you, or Mark, please advise him about this and the Vaisala
thing? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not have his e-mail address, but the
telephone number is 01293 504331 (John Lint(?) at BAA).</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>It is not possible as only one set of values are in the database
for any airport, however, updating has now lost that information. The data in
the database now, and the previous update contain no negative air temperatures
(they are unchanged). Is it possible you are referring to Surface Temperature
(i.e. Runway temperatures) which did go down to 0.1 degrees but now are around
6-7 degree?<BR><BR>Graham<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Weather

EGKK<BR>Gatwick on the BAA (baau0000) site had negative air<BR>temperatures on
it starting this afternoon and into the<BR>night. These also appeared on the WSI
(wsiu0000) site, but<BR>were correct on the NATS (natsu0000) site. The
correct<BR>temperatures were on the Hubcast editor in the
Metlab.<BR><BR>Re-submitted the data. This fixed the problem.<BR><BR>The
question is, how was this
possible?<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
