| Description: | Below is an overview from Mark Shafer of the automated quality
assurance results for the August 1997 Oklahoma Mesonet data.
OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
for the month of August, 1997
OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
for the month of August, 1997
Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day
Prepared by Jeff Basara (jbasara@ou.edu)
================================================================================
Notes:
The Great Rain Give-away continued for much of Oklahoma through the month of
August. This time CLAR took the honors of having the highest total with over
10 inches followed by WYNO which had over 9 inches. Conversely, 14 sites in
southern Oklahoma had less than 2.5 inches of rainfall. To put this in
perspective, all of the Panhandle sites had more rainfall than those 14 sites
in southern Oklahoma.
Jerry Brotzge will soon be taking over the responsibilities of Quality Assurance
Manager. So, don't be suprised to see his name on future QA reports.
