Ive been playing with one for work for the past few weeks and the Nor Easter which blew through NE did not affect short term ADEV with Tau < 1000s and that had a signficant drop in local barometric pressure for several hours

As to long term controlled studies no have not had opportunity to do so yet so that was an off the cuff observation based on the storm and not scientific data.

I'd be interested in any other observations around the same time though if anyone else is running a CSAC in NE
