Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the January 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.

                                 speed at 2 m to stay at 0 m/s 
                                 all day.  Although the data was
                                 flagged by the persistence test, 
                                 it is ok.

                                 neighboring sites.  Ignore

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of January, 2000

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

       Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)

===============================================================
Notes:

The Preston site was removed on 20 January due to repeated 
vandalism that has occurred there. 

Other vandalism incidents:
4 January:  A149 TAIR and RELH sensor damaged 
16 January:  CHIC WS2M stolen and datalogger damaged

Many improvements were made in January to our soil moisture 
data.  6 stations had their faulty sensors replaced or repaired 
during the month.
