Overview of Automated Quality Assurance for January and February 1996
DataStreams:sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.a1
Description:
Following is an assessment of the automated quality assurance runs for January 
and February 1996
from Mark Shafer:
February was not terribly kind to
the Mesonet.  We had some problems with pressure readings in the
early part of the month (1st - 5th).  I think this was related to the
early February ice storm  which could have clogged pressure tubes.  There
were also numerous flags on TAIR during the month, especially at
MEDI, CAMA, CHEY and COOK.  I think these may have been attributable
to the dry conditions last winter, with more variability in temperature
from diurnal heating.  I would disregard "suspect (1)" flags on TAIR
during February. The same conditions were true for January.  There were several instances
of days with a number of PRES sensors being flagged, but I can't account
for the cause of these at this time.  I asked our QA manager to look 
into what might have been the culprit.  The same pattern of TAIR appeared
during January as well.
