SGP/OKM/X1 - Station PRES decommissioned and removed from service

The station PRES (Preston) was installed on June 19, 1996 for a grant funded project and 
removed on January 20, 2000 when the project terminated because it is close to other 
stations and because it was a frequent victim of vandals.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Station TULL replaced by station PORT

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.

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

The influence of the western Oklahoma winter wheat crops was reflected
strongly in November's monthly-averaged temperature fields.  
Temperatures in the wheat-field counties were a solid 1-2 C cooler on
average than adjacent counties. 
The anomaly was also present in the 9-m temperature field, thanks to
the increased coverage of stations with 9-m sensors from OASIS.

SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - December 1999

Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the December 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.


There are a few special events in the December Mesonet data 

Date    Station  Parameter(s)       
----    -------  ------------   
12/06   BUFF     TAIR           Thin band of snow cover caused this site
                                to be much cooler than neighboring 
                                stations.  You can ignore the automated 
                                QA flags.

12/09   LAHO     PRES           Meso-low moved very close to this site 
                                during heavy thunderstorms.  You can 
                                disregard the flags.

12/11   BBOW     WS2M           Absolutely calm conditions all day caused
                                this site to fail our persistence test.  
                                You can ignore the flags.

12/16   CALV     RELH           Localized cold-air drainage occurred at 
                                this site.  You can disregard the flags.

12/17   SALL     TAIR           Again, cold-air drainage
        WIST     TAIR           Again, cold-air drainage

12/29   CHEY     TAIR/TA9M      Station poked above inversion layer, 
                                ignore the flags
        MEDI     TAIR           Station poked above inversion layer, 
                                ignore the flags

12/30   WIST     TAIR           Cold-air drainage.  Disregard the flags.


       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of December, 1999

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

       Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)

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

Wintry weather caused the barometer tubes to freeze shut at MARS on
12/5 and at ALV2 and BUFF on 12/10.  The problem resolved itslef
when temperatures warmed above freezing.  The observation times 
affected were flagged in the Qualparm database.

A thin band of snowcover over the northwestern part of the state from 
12/5-12/7 played havoc with the spatial automated QA.  For instance,
on the morning of 12/6, stations within the band of snowcover cooled
to as low as 10 F, whereas adjacent sites outside of the band stayed
in the upper 20s.

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of September, 1999

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

       Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)

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

The Mesonet technicians were busy in September resolving over 37
trouble tickets.  Lightning at OKEM and BRIS, along with the hot summer
of 1999 really made the problems pile up.  In addition to this,
9 sites were upgraded for the OASIS project, and one site (BOIS) was
upgraded to a Super Site.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - July 1999

Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the July 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
There are a few special events that were flagged by the automatic 
qa in the month of July that you may want to be aware of:

Date    Station  Parameter(s)       
----    -------  ------------   
7/01    MEDF     WSPD, WVEC      Thunderstorm gusts caused these flags.
                                 You can disregard the flagging.

7/01    NEWK     PRES            Meso-high associated with thunderstorms
                                 caused these flags. You can disregard 
them.

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of July, 1999

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

       Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)

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

Many trouble tickets were resolved during the month of July by the
Mesonet Technicians.  The lightning-damaged sites of CLAY, BURB,
OKEM, and A182 were all brought back to full-performance.

In addition, the T/RH sensors were replaced at ELRE, MAYR, PAWN,
RING, KING, GRA2, BREC, A135, A151, and A167 to eliminate suspicious
or problematic sensors from the field.

One final note- Ken Meyers discovered vandalism to the rain gauge 
at A134 and replaced it.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - August 1999

Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the August 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
There are a few special events that were flagged by the automatic 
qa in August that you may want to be aware of:

                               The data failed the spatial test, but 
                               you can disregard the flags.

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of August, 1999

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

       Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)

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

The ARS site of A137 was vandalized on August 23.  The solar panel
and battery were damaged there.

VINI was struck by lightning on August 11.  Fortunately, damage was
contained to only the T/RH sensor.  In addition to replacing the
damaged sensor, some of the other hardware were replaced at VINI 
to be on the safe side.  

And finally, 12 Mesonet sites received OASIS upgrades during the month.

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.
