Abstract
Calibrating weather stations using maximum allowed altitude errors. Particular embodiments described herein include machines that determine a maximum allowed pressure calibration error for a weather station, determine a temperature variation associated with an environment in which the weather station resides, determine a maximum allowed altitude error for the weather station using the maximum allowed pressure calibration error and the temperature variation, and use the maximum allowed altitude error to determine if a first maximum possible altitude error associated with a first approach for estimating an altitude of the weather station exceeds the maximum allowed altitude error. If the first maximum possible altitude error associated with the first approach does not exceed the maximum allowed altitude error, the first approach is used to estimate an altitude of the weather station for use in calibrating a pressure sensor of the weather station.
