I am perplexed. This goes beyond Call of the wind sensor correction
coefficients. Now two airport sensors are invloved, Ken Pulton's report
and what you get if you call SFO.
Ken's (knot denominated) page reports:
99/08/19-1456 SFO 72 55 280 20 . 10 29.95 Clear
99/08/19-1556 SFO 70 54 260 23 . 10 29.94 Clear pk wnd 26026
However, if you call SFO they give you 16 and 17 (compared to 20 & 23)
at 3 and 4 p.m., respectively. How come??????

(And what are live reports from Coyote & Tigers?)

Neither Ken not FAA are known for tweaking sensors. Does anybody have a
clue?
