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.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality -March 2002

Description:
Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the March 2002
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

On March 1 & 2, most of the state reported snow and a few hours of 

freezing rain. In spite of the fact that the effect of this snow/ice 

event was much less severe than the Jan 30-31 storm, the wind obs at 60 

sites had to be manually flagged for time periods ranging from 3 to 26 

hours due to freezing rain coating the anemometers. Temperatures in the 

state quickly recovered and on March 14, OKC set a record high temp for 

that date of 85 degrees. The southeast part of the state experienced 

heavy rains on two occasions, with Idabel leading the pack at nearly 10 

inches of rain during March. 

 

The Mesonet Technicians began Spring Pass 2002 in March.  During the 

month, they also resolved 75 trouble tickets! In addition to the work

detailed in this report, their work included scheduled replacements of 

10m wind direction monitors (in the past four months, 100 have been 

changed out), and replacement of failed net radiometers, soil moisture 

sensors, ground heat flux plates and soil temp probes. They also 

replaced 7 cup-type anemometers with starting threshold problems 

(likely caused by our three winter ice storms). The initial 

installation of telnet power switches at base stations continued.

 

The data collection software and hardware for the ARS Micronet was 

upgraded to match that used by the Mesonet (upgraded in spring of 2001).

The new collection software is called LoggerNet. Thanks to all involved

in the successful completion of this upgrade.

Description:
Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the January  2002
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

On January 30 and 31, a devastating ice storm hit the northwestern half
of Oklahoma.  Among many other effects, the freezing rain coated both 
the cup-type and propvane anemometers.  Erroneous wind observations(both
from frozen sensors and from vibration-induced wind gusts) were wide-
spread.  At 3 sites, the propellers at 10 m actually broke off the vanes
and fell to the ground.  Starting on the first day of the storm and 
continuing for several days, approximately 60,000 wind observations were
manually flagged at 52 Mesonet sites.

The Technicians' work in January included 21 scheduled rotations  
of wind monitors in the northeastern part of the state and replacement
of soil moisture sensors, ground heat flux plates and site batteries. 

The CD containing the Fall Pass 2001 information is ready for 
distribution.  Please e-mail me if you would like us to send you a copy.

 
Next month's coming attraction:  I will provide you with the URL for 
a new web-based version of the Monthly QA report and will ask at that 
time for your suggestions and comments about the page.

Description:
Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the April 2002 
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Note:

The coming of Spring brought localized heavy storms and high winds to   
our state several times in April.  Southeast Oklahoma received the 
largest cumulative amount of rain. Talihina was the winner, with 8.5 
inches of rain during the month.

A lightning strike occurred at the Clayton site on April 7th. The 
raingauge, temp & relh sensor, pyranometer, datalogger and radio had to 
be replaced. This site has been struck by lightning 6 times in the past 
6 years!

The Technicians were very busy in April resolving 87 trouble tickets.
Their work included datalogger upgrades and replacement of 13 cup-type 
anemometers with starting threshold problems.

Spring Pass 2002 is well underway with approximately 50 sites visited. 

Now that the sun angles are high, the NRAD and NCOM calibrations of 
pyranometers and net radiometers have begun again.  In April, 3 
pyranometers were changed out as part of the scheduled rotations that 
were begun last fall.

Wind direction (10 m) rotations are now complete for all 115 sites.

Description:
The Mesonet station near Marshall was moved on September 25, 2003 to improve accessiblity 
for the Mesonet technicians who visit and maintain the site. 
The new site has the code MRSH. It replaces the old Marshall site that
had the code MARS. Since the latitude and longitude of the stations are
included in the cdf file, users of these data should not have a problem.

          OKLAHOMA MESONET/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
                          September 2002

  Prepared by Janet Martinez, Bob Fritchie, and Chris Fiebrich  
                 (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu) 

========================================================================
NOTES:

Mesonet Technicians completed Summer Pass 2002 in late September.  All
116 sites were visited and maintained.  

The Washington site was upgraded to a Supersite on 20 September.   

It was feast or famine across the state for rainfall in September.  
Eufaula and Sallisaw in east central Oklahoma received less than 0.20
inches for the month.  In contrast, much of north central, southeast, 
and the extreme western Panhandle received over 4 inches.  The 
Kingfisher site was the wettest with 7.40 inches.

"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.
