Description:
PORT (Porter) is a station move from TULL (Tullahassee).  The landowner was building a 
house where the Mesonet site stood, so they had to shut down TULL.  PORT is another orchard, 
located about 9 miles west of the TULL site.

Overview of Automated QA - May 1998
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.00, sgp05okmX1.a1, sgp15okmX1.00, sgp15okmX1.a1
Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the May 1998
Oklahoma Mesonet data.


The May Mesonet data have been posted to your server.  There are a few
special events that were flagged by the automatic qa that you may want
to be aware of.  These include:

1.  HOLL PRES - May 8 Thunderstorm winds caused a significant pressure
drop.  This data is accurate so you can ignore the flags.

2.  BESS RELH - May 21 A heat burst was measured at the site.  It was a fairly
localized event so the spatial test flagged the data.  You can disregard those
flags.

3.  MAYR & NEWK WSPD, WVEC - Thunderstorm outflow produced 40+ mph sustained 
wind observations on the 24th and 25th.  This data is believed to be true 
and you can ignore those flags.

4.  FORA RAIN - May 25 The site received nearly double the amount of rainfall
as its neighboring sites.  Radar confirmed this, so we believe the data to
be good.
 
5.  BRIS RELH - May 26 flags were from a wet sensor; the flags are
correct and there is no need for continuning concern after the event.

6.  CLAY WSPD, WVEC - May 26 flags were caused by strong winds reported
at the site during a thunderstorm.  You can ignore these flags.

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of May, 1998

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

       Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (chris@mesnet.mesonet.ou.edu)

================================================================================

A number of pressure problems were corrected during the month of May.
Malfunctioning barometers at ALTU and SEIL were replaced, and the barometer
tubes at ANTL and STUA were 'de-wormed' (to quote Gary) to correct problems
there.

The SRAD field was also improved by replacing malfunctioning sensors at
TULL, OKMU, and WYNO during the month of May.

Some of the soil temperature sensors at BRIS and FAIR fell victim to gopher
damage last month.  Those sensors were replaced.

The monthly QA detected a handful of possible biases in the soil sensors in
both the ARS and MESO networks.  Those stations included KETC, SHAW, A148, and
A157.  Those sensors will be investigated in the coming weeks.
