| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the August 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
There are a few special events that were flagged by the automatic
qa in August that you may want to be aware of:
Date Station Parameter(s)
---- ------- ------------
8/02 TALI TAIR Localized storm caused this station
to be MUCH cooler than neighbors.
The data failed the spatial test, but
you can disregard the flags.

OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
for the month of August, 1999
Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day
Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)
=======================================================================
Notes:
The ARS site of A137 was vandalized on August 23. The solar panel
and battery were damaged there.
VINI was struck by lightning on August 11. Fortunately, damage was
contained to only the T/RH sensor. In addition to replacing the
damaged sensor, some of the other hardware were replaced at VINI
to be on the safe side.
And finally, 12 Mesonet sites received OASIS upgrades during the month.
