Hi, How it works? Simple, each time weeWX receives a packet or record that contains outTemp, weeWX replaces the outTemp value with a new value that is equal to the original outTemp value plus 0.02 times the original outTemp value minus 68. The new outTemp value is then used and the old outTemp value is discarded and no longer used.
How to apply that in your case? Well first you need to work out what correction is needed; you gave a single point of comparison so there are an infinite number of 'corrections' that can correct 964hPa to 1024hPa, eg barometer = barometer + 60 barometer = barometer + (barometer - 364) * 0.1 barometer = barometer + (barometer - 664) * 0.2 You really need to make a few more observations at different barometer values so you can develop some sort of correction equation. A couple of other things, if you have a driver for your station you may wish to incorporate your 'correction' in your driver so that the driver emits the correct barometer value. Also, if you do persist in using a correction in weewx.conf, be aware that the units used in the correction formula are the units used by your database. So if your database is in US customary units (the default) your correction formula would need to be expressed in inHg.
