Latitude: 34° 14' 37" N (deg min sec), 34.2436° (decimal), 3414.62N (LORAN) Longitude: 79° 44' 42" W (deg min sec), -79.7450° (decimal), 07944.70W (LORAN) Elevation: 52 metres (170 feet) Location: Black Creek Near Quinby Near Flo, SC, United States Of America County: Florence, SC
Data provider: USG
Forecast Office: Wilmington (ILM)
The elevation does not correspond with the estimated elevation (20 metres (67 feet) -- source NED 1/9th arc-second: Florence County South Carolina) at that point. It seems probable that the elevation was entered as feet rather than as metres. Please use the 'send the updated information' link below to update the location or elevation.
The site location should be at the mark shown -- or very close. Clicking within the map area (or you can drag the 'BCRS1' 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.
Can you help with location quality? Please indicate
if the marker on the map points at the weather instrument cluster:
The best way to
get elevation is to consult a topographic map. Make sure that you know whether the contours are marked in
feet or metres. Note that handheld GPS receivers do not provide readings of elevation accurate to better than 10-20 metres (technical discussion). If you do not have access to a topographic map, then a GPS receiver is acceptable, but make
sure that it is operating in 3D mode and let it average the position for at least five minutes.
For more information on reading maps, please see the Topo Map Reading Guide -- in particular it discusses how to read contours.
The location information for this site was gathered from 2 data sources. 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.

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:id=bcrs1 -- 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)

The inconsistency noted above in your location information means that the analyzed readings for
your location may be incorrect. For example, if your location is incorrect, then the analysis values will be for a location
other than your station. This will give different analysis results, probably leading to errors being shown below. If the
elevation is incorrect, then the comparison of temperature readings will be in error.
Neighboring Stations
This is a list of stations that are close to this station.
You can look at those for comparison purposes.
The average difference between your station and each station below is listed as well. This may allow you to detect local
stations which are erroneous. You can also use these numbers to adjust your instruments -- especially if a number of ASOS stations
have similar differences to your station. Also, try increasing the analysis period to more than the default 28 days.
The difference is only given if both stations report reasonably often during each day. Some stations
only report every 6 hours, and this makes the average of less interest. In this case, the average is not displayed.
The values reported are the differences between this station and the neighboring station. I.e. if the difference is positive, then this station is reading higher than the neighboring station.
Since this station has not been reporting continuously during the analysis period (it missed 26 days out of 28), the offsets below may not be accurate.
