SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - April 2000
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.00, sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.a1, sgp15okmX1.00
Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the April 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.

===============================================================
Notes:
The Mesonet Technicians are beginning their Spring Pass
of all Mesonet and ARS stations.  All sites will be visited 
over the next 2 months to perform routine maintenance, along 
with point data comparisons of many parameters.  In addition, 
site photos are being taken to document ground cover and a new 
procedure is being performed to recalibrate our site elevations
via test barometers.
