Description: | Mark Shafer has provided the following overview of the results of
the automated quality assurance for the June 1995 Oklahoma Mesonet data:
It was a pretty messy month. Four of the
problem sites listed below are from high battery voltages. The concern
is that high voltage may affect the performance of some of the sensors.
I didn't see anything (except perhaps HOLL) which would indicate secondary
effects, but it is nevertheless a concern.
PROBLEM SITES:
--------------
BIXB BATV 6th - 21st, reported high voltages.
BURN BATV 1st - 4th, reported high voltages.
CHER BATV 6th - 26th, reported high voltages.
COOK SRAD 17th - 21st, low readings indicated by spatial test;
no flag in badparm (may have been caused by bird droppings,
cleaned up by a technician on the 21st).
HOLL BATV 1st - 21st, reported high voltages.
HOLL PRES 4th, suspect and warning flag may have been related to
battery problem.
HOLL SRAD 10th, seven suspect flags perhaps related to battery
problem.
KETC TB05 8th - 29th, began failing spatial and range checks;
flagged 3 in badparm on 07/01.
MADI TS05 1st - 4th, warning and failure flags; flagged 2 in
badparm on the 4th.
RING PRES pressure spikes on the 9th, 26th, 28th and 29th.
SALL SRAD 6th - 31st, readings dropped below -1 at night repeatedly.
LEAF Persistent problems at: KETC (1st), MARE (1st), BOWL (3rd),
LAHO (12th) and CLAY (13th).
Sporadic problems at: PAUL (begining 1st) and IDAB (5th). |
