| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the February 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
There are a few special events that were flagged by the automatic
qa that you may want to be aware of:
Date Station Parameter(s)
---- ------- ------------
02/05 WIST RELH - Cold-air drainage at this low-lying
site caused it to be spatially inconsis-
tent with neighboring stations; ignore
the flags.
02/08 CHEY TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
02/13 CHEY RELH, TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
02/23 MEDI TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
02/25 BUFF TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
02/28 CHEY,MEDI TAIR - Stations poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
