SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - February 2002
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.a1
Description:
Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the February 2002 
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

Oklahoma experienced interesting weather during February. Just as the

state was thawing out from the Jan 30-31 ice storm, snow began to    

fall on Feb 5 and continued throughout the next day. A quick-moving 

line of heavy rain came through on the 19th, and a strong front with  

gusty winds brought us cold temperatures on the 25th and 26th.

 

In spite of the weather extremes, the Mesonet Technicians (Leslie, Kris,

Ken and Bill) resolved 50 trouble tickets during the month. Their work  

included replacement of prop- and cup-type anemometers (damaged during  

the ice storm), scheduled rotations of wind direction sensors in the  

southwestern and southeastern parts of the state, replacement of net

radiometers, and initial installations of telnet power switches at 

several base stations.

 

ARS site A130 was vandalized on February 26. The battery, power cable,

and enclosure lock had to be replaced.

"Current Tickets" are the unresolved tickets as of the last day of the  

 month.

"Added Tickets" are based on evaluations of parameters averaged over 

 the month at 1800 UTC.  Rain is evaluated as a monthly accumulation. 

"Resolved Tickets" are the problems that were fixed during the entire

 month.
