I've included averages from the 04-05 season to the present.
I included lines on the map from both of the Stonehill stations to Bill's station. According to Google Maps, Bill is at 1640' and is approximately 1.25 miles WNW of here.
That puts him at the exact same elevation as PacRad, but he's on slightly flatter terrain (no canyon walls directly adjacent to him). I speculate that the shape of the terrain more than the elevation is causing microclimatic differences, but it does not seem to follow a predictable pattern.
We assume the variation is due to micro climatic differences, not calibration or placement problems. The fact that the percent difference is not consistent year over year supports this assumption. Further more, in the 2014-15 season, Dan retired his old hardware and has been using new hardware.
