Thanks to that, I noticed that for some station names
there are identical
names for more stations - I saw it, for example, in Canada / Yukon - 2 ×
Dawson, 2 × Tuktoyaktuk. Other stations with the same name can be found in
other regions. Maybe there would be a good idea to add some identification
to the name, which station is which.
Hi,
the case with Yukon - these are two different station ids with similar
coordinates
CWON;--;---;Dawson Automatic Weather Reporting
System ;;Canada;4;64-03N;139-09W;;;370;;
CYDA;71;966;Dawson, Y. T.;;Canada;4;64-03N;139-08W;;;370;370;P
I removed "Automatic Weather Reporting System" from everywhere I found it in
station_names.txt - this lead to duplicated names :/ . May be "Automatic
Weather Reporting System" should be replaced with AWRS so that it
distinguishes from the other
Same for Tuktoyaktuk
CYUB;71;954;Tuktoyaktuk ;;Canada;4;69-27N;133-01W;69-27N;133-01W;5;5;
CZUB;71;985;Tuktoyaktuk Automated Reporting
Station ;;Canada;4;69-26N;133-02W;;;6;;
But my assessment was that it would not make a big difference if you pick
one or the other station anyway
