| Description: | Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the March 2001
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
69 trouble tickets were resolved by the techs during March.
WOW! You won't notice all of that work here in this report,
because some of the fixes were for scheduled rotations of
sensors and work done on OASIS sensors (both of which we
haven't made a part of the monthly QA report as of yet.)
Soil temperature probes under bare soil continue to be a
major problem as over 20 stations have been found to have
their probes literally heaved out of the ground. This is
something we've never witnessed in the Mesonet EVER, and
is likely due to all the wet, freezing weather we had this
past winter. We'll hope it doesn't happen again for at least
8 more years.
The Mesonet technicians are beginning their Spring Pass 2001
in which all sites will be visited over the next 3 months.
During this pass, they will be taking site photos, maintaining
the vegetation inside the site enclosure, cleaning sensors,
and performing rain gauge tests.
