| Description: | See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20140904. Original DQR
category: 4 (Red, Incorrect).
-----------------------------------------------------------
All precip values are incorrectly reported during the period:
From 20060101-20101231 all precip values are incorrectly reported as missing, or -9999.
From 20110101-present all precip values are reported as 0 even though the qc_precip
variable flags the data as missing, or -9999.
The precipitation data from the co-located surface met station were not actually missing,
but the MERGESONDE VAP did not properly ingest these data. While the 0 precip values
reported after 20110101 in MERGESONDE may be correct on days with no precip, they are not
actually tied to the measurements from the co-located rain gauge and are due to a VAP
software error.
To correct this issue, the MERGESONDE software will need to be corrected so the data can
be reprocessed. Because precip is a secondary variable in MERGESONDE, this issue is
considered low priority and the VAP will not be reprocessed until a sufficient number of
issues in the VAP have been identified. |
