| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the July 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
There are a few special events that were flagged by the automatic
qa in the month of July that you may want to be aware of:
Date Station Parameter(s)
---- ------- ------------
7/01 MEDF WSPD, WVEC Thunderstorm gusts caused these flags.
You can disregard the flagging.
7/01 NEWK PRES Meso-high associated with thunderstorms
caused these flags. You can disregard
them.

OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
for the month of July, 1999
Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day
Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)
=======================================================================
Notes:
Many trouble tickets were resolved during the month of July by the
Mesonet Technicians. The lightning-damaged sites of CLAY, BURB,
OKEM, and A182 were all brought back to full-performance.
In addition, the T/RH sensors were replaced at ELRE, MAYR, PAWN,
RING, KING, GRA2, BREC, A135, A151, and A167 to eliminate suspicious
or problematic sensors from the field.
One final note- Ken Meyers discovered vandalism to the rain gauge
at A134 and replaced it.
