Regarding the station altitude the user's guide of WeeWX 
<https://weewx.com/docs/latest/usersguide.htm#%5BStation%5D> simly says 
"station altitude".

The WMO distinguishes between the station altitude and the pressure gauge 
altitude.

   - The station altitude is defined as the elevation of the ground below 
   the air temperature sensor.
   - The pressure gauge altitude is the real altitude of the pressure 
   gauge, used to calculate sea level pressure (barometer value).

The altitude in the [Station] section of weewx.conf is directly used to 
calculate the sea level pressure (barometer value)  in the 
weewx.wxxtypes.PressureCooker class. So strictly spoken it is not the 
station altitude but the pressure gauge altitude, what the user has to put 
there.

Would it make sense to clarify that in the user's guide?
