More Accurate Data Through:

  • Redundant Sensors
  • Near Real Time Diagnostics
  • Time Resolution of Five Minutes vs The Current Daily
  • Automated data collection via GOES satellite uplink, eliminating human error of reading and transcription
  • No adjustments to the data post reception. Time of Observation is now irrelevant.
  • No more routinely missing data, such as on weekends (fire station at Marysville, CA for example) and thus no need to fill in estimated data using the FILNET adjustment any more.

[from the comments]
–If there is no need for adjustment, that means there is no need for FILENET.
–And if there is no need for FILENET, there is no need to fill in data.
–And if there is no need to fill in data, the collection and transmission therefore must be automated.

Sounds like a good improvement soooo many of them are laughable placements.  Now why do I like titles that spell the acronym M.A.D.?
