| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the November 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
There are a few special events in the November Mesonet data

OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
for the month of November, 1999
Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day
Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)
=======================================================================
Notes:
The influence of the western Oklahoma winter wheat crops was reflected
strongly in November's monthly-averaged temperature fields.
Temperatures in the wheat-field counties were a solid 1-2 C cooler on
average than adjacent counties.
The anomaly was also present in the 9-m temperature field, thanks to
the increased coverage of stations with 9-m sensors from OASIS.
