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

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

A major ice storm took place from January 28-30 across the
northwest one-third of Oklahoma.  The wind sensors became
frozen at over 40 stations.  

Several occurrences in which soil temperature sensors have
"heaved" themselves out of the ground have been noted by
techs recently.  After analyzing the soil temperature data 
for January, it appears that 9 additional stations may be
having the same problem.  Trouble tickets have been issued
so that the suspect sites can be visited during this coming
month.  The unusually wet and cold winter is likely to blame.

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

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



3 more ice storms hit the state during February.  The first
storm lasted from the 8th through the 11th and affected much 
of northwest Oklahoma.  The second event lasted from the 15th 
through the 18th and affected 27 stations in south-central 
and east-central Oklahoma.  The third event affected over 40 
stations in central and northeastern Oklahoma on the 28th 
of the month.  Wind data from these events was flagged
appropriately in the QA database.

HUGO became the first site to get struck by lightning during
2001.  On the 24th, the site suffered major damage to the 
logger, battery, rain gauge, temperature and RH, and
soil temperatures sensors.

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

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


69 trouble tickets were resolved by the techs during March.
WOW!  You won't notice all of that work here in this report,
because some of the fixes were for scheduled rotations of
sensors and work done on OASIS sensors (both of which we
haven't made a part of the monthly QA report as of yet.)

Soil temperature probes under bare soil continue to be a 
major problem as over 20 stations have been found to have
their probes literally heaved out of the ground.  This is
something we've never witnessed in the Mesonet EVER, and
is likely due to all the wet, freezing weather we had this
past winter.  We'll hope it doesn't happen again for at least
8 more years. 

The Mesonet technicians are beginning their Spring Pass 2001
in which all sites will be visited over the next 3 months.
During this pass, they will be taking site photos, maintaining
the vegetation inside the site enclosure, cleaning sensors,
and performing rain gauge tests.

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

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


==============================================================
Notes:

Rotations of the wind speed sensors are coming to a close.  Most
all Mesonet sites have had their nose cones replaced.
Pyranometers are now beginning to be rotated statewide.  Most
stations should have newly calibrated pyranometers by the end
of the summer.

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...

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

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

Northwest and southwest Oklahoma were the hot spots of the
state during July.  Average 1800 UTC temperatures in those
areas were over 36 C (97 F).  The 1800 UTC pressure data
revealed corresponding localized areas of low pressure
(heat lows) in those same areas.

Notes:

Mesonet technicians were busy performing Summer Pass 2001 
during August.  Just a few of their tasks include:  
trimming vegetation, cleaning sensors, rotating sensors,
and performing sensor tests.  Summer Pass will be completed
October 1.

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

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

The Mesonet technicians completed Summer Pass 2001 in
late September.  Just a few of their accomplishments during
this pass include:  
*  1500 site photos taken to document the stations
*  95 sensors rotated
*  All rain gauges tested
*  All soil temperature depths verified

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - November 2001

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

A new Mesonet site located near Inola, OK  was installed on 
14 November 2001.  The new station's 4-letter identifier is
INOL.  This site measures all of the core Mesonet parameters.

Bill Wyatt and Thomas Smith completed the rotation of all 
wind monitors in the northwest section of the state during
November.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - December 2001

Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the December 2001
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

The Mesonet Technicians completed the Fall Pass 2001 in late  

December.  Over 1800 site photos were taken.  We are preparing a CD 

that will contain all photos, accomplishments, site visitation 

forms and special findings.  The CD will be available next month.

 

The Technicians also resolved 59 trouble tickets in December!  In 

addition to the tickets shown in this report, their work included 

scheduled rotations of wind monitors and soil temperature sensors,  

as well as replacements of site batteries and rain gauge switches.

 

The monthly analysis identified the site with the maximum rainfall. 

Mt. Herman received 11.8 inches in December, with 7.8 inches falling 

in a single day (December 16)!  

 

In late November, a widespread freezing rain event impacted southern

and eastern Oklahoma.  The wind data from 27 stations were deemed 

erroneous and appropriately flagged in the database.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Station Change

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.
