SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - June 2001

Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the June 2001
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
 
==============================================================
Notes:

Spring Pass 2001 was completed in June.  All 114 stations 
have now been visited, inspected, and maintained.  In 
addition, over 1500 digital photos were taken to document 
the vegetation conditions at each site.

The technicians now embark on Summer Pass 2001...
