NWS says they’ve replaced the San Jose airport rain gauge after intense scrutiny — but will the record ultimately be fixed?
that ripped across California between 1997 and 1998, weather experts say a correction to the data is vitally important.
According to Meteorologist-in-Charge Cynthia Palmer, other rain gauges in San Jose that aren’t overseen by their agency likely won’t be used to correct the record due to concern that those devices aren’t offering the most accurate data or aren’t always calibrated. That includes the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s rain gauge at San Jose’s Civic Center, located just 1.3 miles south of the airport and currently reporting a whopping 6.5-inch difference.
That leaves a few possibilities to help fix the record. They include a smattering of climate sites around San Jose that collect rain data, as well as the gauge at Moffett Field in Mountain View, which was handed over by NWS to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration but may be used to average the numbers out, the agency said. The decision will be ultimately be made by the National Centers for Environmental Information, an arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
