Description:
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.

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of January, 2000

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

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

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

The Preston site was removed on 20 January due to repeated 
vandalism that has occurred there. 

Other vandalism incidents:
4 January:  A149 TAIR and RELH sensor damaged 
16 January:  CHIC WS2M stolen and datalogger damaged

Many improvements were made in January to our soil moisture 
data.  6 stations had their faulty sensors replaced or repaired 
during the month.

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of February, 2000

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

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

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

OASIS 2000 for the northeast quadrant of the state began 
February 22.  OASIS 2000 is an NCAR in-field comparison with
our OASIS stations.  

As part of normal maintenance, the Mesonet Technicians 
installed updated datalogger operating systems at 24 stations 
during February.  The remainder of the sites will be updated 
during March.

Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the March 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.

There are a few special events in the March Mesonet data that you may
want to be aware of.  These include:

Date    Station  Parameter(s)       
----    -------  ------------   
3/03    CLOU     WMAX           Gust to 89 mph during severe 
                                thunderstorm;  you can 
                                disregard the automated QA flag

3/02    ARNE     PRES           Mesolow caused ARNE to be 
                                spatially inconsistent with 
                                neighboring sites; disregard
                                the automated QA flags

       OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
       for the month of March, 2000

       Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day

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

===============================================================
Notes:
One last ice storm...  Mother Nature coated much of western 
Oklahoma with freezing rain on March 16-17, causing upwards of 
40 wind monitors to freeze solid.  These observations were 
flagged in Qualparm to indicate their suspicious readings.

Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the April 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.

===============================================================
Notes:
The Mesonet Technicians are beginning their Spring Pass
of all Mesonet and ARS stations.  All sites will be visited 
over the next 2 months to perform routine maintenance, along 
with point data comparisons of many parameters.  In addition, 
site photos are being taken to document ground cover and a new 
procedure is being performed to recalibrate our site elevations
via test barometers.

Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the May 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.


===============================================================
Notes:
The Mesonet Technicians continued site visits during May as
part of "Spring Pass 2000".  All stations will have received
maintenance by the end of June.

A cow broke through the enclosure at JAYX on May 12.  I've been
meaning to tell Ken Meyers I found somebody looking like they
were up to no good at the nearby Pryor site:  
http://radar.metr.ou.edu/cgi-bin/sitephoto.cgi?site=pryo&dir=ne&info=photos
   
Do you think we have our first suspect?

(That link comes from our online site photo gallery accessible
through the main Mesonet web page at http://okmesonet.ocs.ou.edu.)

SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - June 2000
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp15okmX1.b1
Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the June 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.

===============================================================
Notes:
The Mesonet Technicians completed Spring Pass 2000 on June 30.
The point comparisons they performed on the TAIR, RELH, PRES,
SRAD, and RAIN parameters were very useful for QA of Mesonet
data.  A number of sensors reporting slightly outside of the
Mesonet's acceptable error ranges were identified.

Many site photos were taken during Spring Pass 2000 to document
vegetation cover around the bare and sod soil temperature plots,
the soil heat flux sensors, and the soil moisture plots at each
station.  Look for those pictures along with the site visitation
forms indicating the technician's notes to be available on the 
web next month.

One more note... The monthly analysis for June identified the
very heavy rains that fell over east Oklahoma during mid to late
June.  Westville took top honors with a June total of 
17.04 inches!

Description:
Below is an overview from Chris Fiebrich, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the December 2000
Oklahoma Mesonet data.

Notes:

2 ice storms in December caused many QA problems in the 
Mesonet.  The storm that occurred on Christmas day was the
most severe.  That particular event caused the wind sensors
to be frozen in place at 84 stations for anywhere from 1 to
11 days straight!  In addition, the ice coated temperature and
RH shields, pyranometers, and rain gauges.  The ice also
made roads impassable for techs who tried to repair communi-
cation links that were knocked out due to ice damage.

Description:
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.

Description:
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.

Description:
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.

Description:
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.

Description:
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...

DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp15okmX1.b1
Description:
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.

Description:
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

Description:
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
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp15okmX1.b1
Description:
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 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - January 2002
DataStreams:sgp05okmX1.a1, sgp05okmX1.b1, sgp15okmX1.a1, sgp15okmX1.b1
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.     

Janet
