Registered Location

If the displayed location (or elevation) of the weather observing location is incorrect, please drag the marker to the right location (or click in the right location), and then send the updated information. Please note that we are trying to spot either the Stevenson Screen (or equivalent) or the location where the barometric readings are taken.

Can you help with location quality? Please indicate if the marker on the map points at the weather instrument cluster: -- please choose Yes Almost -- can see instruments No -- no instruments to be seen No -- cannot zoom in to see Not sure what instruments look like

The location information for this site was gathered from 14 data sources. The possible locations for this site are up to 7449.5 miles away. This makes it possible that the location chosen is incorrect. The source which most closely matches the consensus is chosen. Many of these sources only report the location to the nearest minute (or hundredth of degree). This can lead to the marker being placed noticeably incorrectly. Please see Discussion of Location Errors for more information. Show location history.

There are no photographs of the station. If you have pictures of this location, then please email them to kjqf@photo.gladstonefamily.net.

Picture Submission

There are two ways to submit pictures. If you are a flickr user, then see the flickr section below. Otherwise you can simply email the pictures as follows:

• Email the pictures to kjqf@photo.gladstonefamily.net.
• If you use a smartphone that embeds the GPS coordinates in the pictures, then you can send any picture of a weather station to gps@photo.gladstonefamily.net and it will be associated with the correct station automatically.

Flickr Upload

Uploading picktures to flickr.com is easy. If you do not have a free flickr account, then you need to create one. Just go to flickr and click the 'Create your account' button. You can use a google account if you have one.

Once logged in, click on 'Upload Photos & Video'. Next click on 'Choose Photos and Videos', and walk through the process to upload your pictures. They will automatically be resized appropriately.

After the upload is complete, it will ask you to add titles, tags and descriptions. The key step is to add tags as follows:

• wxtagged -- this indicates that this picture is of a weather station or surrounding area
• wx:metar=kjqf -- this indicates the site of which this is a picture
• wxstation -- add this tag if the picture includes the weather station.

If you had to create your account, then you must upload at least five pictures. It will also take longer for your pictures to appear (a week or so). Otherwise, the pictures should appear after 24-48 hours.
