| Subject: | SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated QA - March 1999 |
| DataStreams: | sgp05okmX1.00, sgp15okmX1.00, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.a1 |
| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the March 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)
---- ------- ------------
03/01 MEDI TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
03/15-16 MEDF TAIR - Isolated deep snow cover caused this
station's temperatures to be much
colder than neighbors; ignore flags
