| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the October 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
There are a few special events in the October data
Date Station Parameter(s)
---- ------- ------------
10/02 TALI TAIR -| Strong low-level inversion caused many
10/13 CHEY TAIR | sites which "poked" into the warmer air
10/20 CHEY TAIR | to be spatially inconsistent with neigh-
10/20 MINC TAIR | boring stations. You can disregard the
10/26 CHEY TAIR -| flags for these stations.
