Registered Location

The site location should be at the mark shown -- or very close. Clicking within the map area (or you can drag the '6W7RV' marker) will display the latitude/longitude of that point.

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.

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:cwop=au228 -- 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.

You can try to find photographs from the area surrounding the site marker by clicking on Find nearby photographs. (There are some) (There are none) (There may be some) (Automatically loaded if any)
