</p><p>Thanks to all the people who've responded via e-mail, which made
me realize an embarrassing flaw in how I've structured the
contest that I must correct immediately,</p>
<p>i.e., to request that any respondents send their answers to me
via e-mail, since posting them on the listservs would immediately
short-circuit the contest!</p>
<p>BTW, of the e-mail answers I've received, all 3 of the
differences have been pointed out, but not by any single person,
while several have pointed out things that I wasn't aware!!</p>
<p>Final answers will be posted on Thursday morning.<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
Clearly the problem is that it's too damn cold to put
buildings there! At least buildings with people in
them :) <br>

apologies to the 4000 souls living in Barrow that are
probably in a two-month-long night right now!<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid">This is the first of several posts
regarding the nitty-gritty of commonly-used weather
file formats. Just to add some excitement to this
rather dry topic, I thought I'd post them as little
contests of your familiarity with weather files or at
least your visual acumen.<br>
<br>
The first weather file format I'm putting under the
microscope is the DOE-2 *.bin format. Since the *.bin
is a packed binary format, the files are not readily
observable, and consequently there's been more than a
little confusion in what they contain.<br>
<br>
I've attached a zip file that contains a weather file
for Barrow Alaska 2012 along with a DOE-2 hourly file
listing the contents of this weather file. See if you
can detect the three things in this hourly dump of
the weather data that's unusual or different. Hint:
the hourly file was produced with a slightly modified
version of the DOE-2.1E program. If you ran the
weather file with the standard DOE-2.1E it will
probably crash, and even with DOE-2.2 you will not see
all the differences.<br>
<br>
You can either post your answers on the mail server or
send them to me via e-mail. The first five persons to
get the right answers will get a free historical year
weather file of your choice from the White Box
Technologies web site. I will announce the results on
Thursday, as well as explain what these three
differences indicate about the DOE-2 *.bin weather
format.<br>
