The following is an e-mail exchange between myself and James Pate, who
I believe is the Air Traffic Manager at Trenton-Mercer Airport. Its ridiculous the lengths these guys will go to avoid responsibility for augmenting the ASOS. From: "Raymond C. Martin, Jr." To: James Pate Subject: Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2005 15:12:42 -0800 (PST) --- James Pate wrote: Mr. Martin, Could you please provide me with the date and times the ASOS wasn't augmented? I will check with the weather service. Also please note the ASOS is never augmented during hours when the tower is closed. Please feel free to contact me with feedback about this problem 609-882-4422. Thank you for your concern...Jim Pate Air Traffic Manager Trenton Tower Here are the observations from the afternoon of March 8, 2005: KTTN 081653Z 34022G31KT 1 3/4SM -SN OVC014 M02/M06 A2912 RMK AO2 PK WND 32031/1649 SLP854 P0000 T10221061 $= KTTN 081753Z 33023G31KT 1/2SM FZFG BKN003 OVC012 M04/M07 A2911 RMK AO2 PK WND 34031/1753 SNEMM SLP851 P0001 60012 T10441067 10078 21044 50001 $= KTTN 081853Z 32013G23KT 1SM -SN BKN005 OVC013 M05/M08 A2911 RMK AO2 PK WND 32031/1754 SNB43 SLP851 P0001 T10501078 $= Note the middle observation is lacking the snow (only reporting freezing fog) and is missing a snow end time (SNEMM). It appears that the precipitation sensor failed, but no correction was issued indicating the moderate snow falling at the time, per nearby observations and radar. --- James Pate wrote: Good morning Mr. Martin, I just had to get into work and verify the logs from March 8th. I was the observer on duty for the 3 observations you noted. The Freezing fog was correct. Although there was snow in the area, the 1753Z obscuration to visibility was freezing fog and not snow. The ASOS takes a snapshot of what is in the vicinity at the time of the observation. With 1/2 mile visibility, which was verified by ground referance points, it could be possible to have snow on the approach end of RWY 24 and neither the ASOS or observer would be able to observe it. Please call me about this at 609-882-4422. Thank you very much for your feedback...Jim Pate ATM Trenton FCT I'm sorry, but you are just plain lying. Are you really going to tell me that this radar was completely wrong and no precipitation was falling at the time???? http://www.njfreeways.com/weather/da...0Z-08Mar05.gif This is a constant problem from KTTN, observations which are NEVER corrected. You guys do absolutely no work, in regards to augmentation. I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm actually a meteorologist from the area and pay close attention to the KTTN observations all the time, especialy during snow, and they are NEVER augmented at all. I've seen so many times when the precip sensor failed and all that was reported was freezing fog, when it was clearly snowing moderatley to heavily. You make me sick, sir. ===== Raymond C.

Raymond, The fellow took the time to respond to you and even offered that you call him on the phone. Whether he is right or wrong, place yourself in his shoes and think real hard about whether he would be willing to continue the exchange. It may seem black and white to you, but you will go farther if you accept that the rest of the world has an unconventional way of looking at these things, and if nothing else deserves a little respect. You have to be more accepting. Seriously, give yourself a chance; you are outnumbered. |

Way to stand behind that Accu Weather name Raymond!! Sure the boss
appreciates your dialogue, which actually could have made great strides had you passed English 15 at Penn State. Unfortunately, Mr. Holier Than Thou (that's you) comes off with a complete lack of tact, decency, and respect plus an attitude that befits a foul tempered 14 year old. You honestly got sick over an unaugmented weather observation? I'm beginning to think you're achieving kook status! You think you made TTN look bad? Think again. That dialogue is a total embarassment to none other than yourself. I'm surpried Mr. Pate gave you the curteous reply that he did! Quite frankly, you deserve to have sausages shoved down your throat and starving dogs up your butt. It's unfortunate because you attempted to call attention to a long standing problem since the FAA took over observations, but the manner in which you have done so certainly won't win you any friends on either side of the playing field. Maybe you ought to stick to desk work which doesn't involve any communication with other human beings, or at least take a few classes in communications because you really are hurting yourself.

I doubt there are any good intentions on Raymond's part. He comes off as a obsessive kook. |
