SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - January 2002
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.a1
Description:
Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the January  2002
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

On January 30 and 31, a devastating ice storm hit the northwestern half
of Oklahoma.  Among many other effects, the freezing rain coated both 
the cup-type and propvane anemometers.  Erroneous wind observations(both
from frozen sensors and from vibration-induced wind gusts) were wide-
spread.  At 3 sites, the propellers at 10 m actually broke off the vanes
and fell to the ground.  Starting on the first day of the storm and 
continuing for several days, approximately 60,000 wind observations were
manually flagged at 52 Mesonet sites.

The Technicians' work in January included 21 scheduled rotations  
of wind monitors in the northeastern part of the state and replacement
of soil moisture sensors, ground heat flux plates and site batteries. 

The CD containing the Fall Pass 2001 information is ready for 
distribution.  Please e-mail me if you would like us to send you a copy.

 
Next month's coming attraction:  I will provide you with the URL for 
a new web-based version of the Monthly QA report and will ask at that 
time for your suggestions and comments about the page.     

Janet
