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.

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. ======================================================================= TAIR Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4376 GOOD Replaced sensor damaged by bull RELH Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4375 GOOD Replaced sensor damaged by bull WDIR Current: #4338 MARS Sensor reporting 180 degrees out of phase on numerous occassions Added: None Resolved: #4378 MTHE Replacing nose cone corrected WDIR WSPD Current: #4651 JAYX Sensor reporting 2 m/s lower than WSPD at 9 m Added: None Resolved: #4377 MTHE Replaced bad nose cone PRES Current: #4118 CHEY No barometer hole drilled, sensor is detecting pressure inside enclosure Added: None Resolved: None SRAD Current: None Added: None Resolved: #3361 ALTU Replaced pyranometer that was biased low RAIN Current: #4361 HOLL Gauge tipped 66 times instead of 50 times during drip test Added: None Resolved: #4339 TAHL Replaced bad switch #4370 RING Removed 4 spider webs clogging gauge TA9M Current: None Added: None Resolved: None WS2M Current: #4342 PRES Sensor stuck at 0.0 m/s Added: None Resolved: #3670 MEDI Sensor moved to proper height #4296 PORT Replaced sensor with electrical problem TS10 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #3003 HOBA Replaced bad sensor #4486 WOOD Corrected wiring problem #4490 SLAP Corrected wiring problem TB10 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4487 WOOD Corrected wiring problem TS05 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #2604 HOBA Replaced sensor stuck at -273.1 C #4488 WOOD Corrected wiring problem TB05 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4489 WOOD Corrected wiring problem TS30 Current: #3147 TIPT Sensor stuck at -273.1 C Added: None Resolved: #2391 HOLL Replaced bad sensor #4491 SLAP Corrected wiring problem ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARS QA REPORT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TAIR Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4647 A145 Replaced sensor failing mesocomp RELH Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4648 A145 Replaced sensor failing mesocomp SRAD Current: #3836 A130 Mesocomp found sensor 7% low #3837 A151 Mesocomp found sensor 7% low Added: None Resolved: None RAIN Current: None Added: None Resolved: #4504 A168 Replaced bad switch TS05 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None TS10 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None TS15 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None TS30 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None ======================================================================== LEGEND TAIR Air Temperature measured at 1.5 meters RELH Relative Humidity measured at 1.5 meters WDIR Wind Direction measured at 10 meters WSPD Wind Speed measured at 10 meters PRES Pressure SRAD Incident Solar Radiation RAIN Rainfall TA9M Air Temperature measured at 9 meters WS2M Wind Speed measured at 2 meters TS10 Soil Temperature measured at 10 cm under native sod TB10 Soil Temperature measured at 10 cm under bare soil TS05 Soil Temperature measured at 5 cm under native sod TB05 Soil Temperature measured at 5 cm under bare soil TS15 Soil Temperature measured at 15 cm under native sod TS30 Soil Temperature measured at 30 cm under native sod

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! ================================================================ TAIR Current: None Added: None Resolved: #5011 SLAP Replaced malfunctioning sensor RELH Current: #5014 ALV2 RELH to 108% #5074 WIST RELH to 112% #5082 ADAX Sensor found to be 6% high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5083 BBOW Sensor found to be 20% high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5084 WAUR Sensor found to be 7% high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5102 KENT Sensor stuck at 0% for extended period Added: None Resolved: #4948 MAYR Replaced bad sensor #5006 CAMA Replaced bad sensor #5010 SLAP Replaced bad sensor #5013 ARDM Replaced sensor that failed mesocomp #5077 WEST Replaced sensor stuck at 0% #5087 CENT Replaced sensor found to have 5.3% high bias during spring pass 2000 #5094 MARE Replaced sensor found to have 5.9% high bias during spring pass 2000 #5110 BUFF Replaced sensor found to have 6.0% high bias during spring pass 2000 WDIR Current: None Added: None Resolved: None WSPD Current: #4976 BYAR Sensor sporadically 4-5 m/s slower than speed at 9 m Added: None Resolved: #5093 MARE Replaced sensor with noisy bearings #5120 CLAR Replaced sensor with noisy bearings PRES Current: #5086 RETR Sensor found to be .72 mb high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison Added: None Resolved: #4980 RETR Found tube clogged with bug #5046 WIST Replaced bad barometer SRAD Current: #5070 HOOK Sensor found to be 6.5% high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5072 KETC Monthly QA indicates 5-10% high bias #5079 WASH Sensor found to be 23% high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5091 WIST Sensor found to be 5.5% low during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5097 BESS Sensor found to be 10% high during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5099 MEDF Sensor found to be 8% low during Spring Pass 2000 comparison #5101 WALT Sensor found to be 10% low during Spring Pass 2000 comparison Added: None Resolved: #5009 SLAP Corrected SRAD problems by replacing bad RH switch RAIN Current: #5078 BURN Gauge recorded no rain during radar-indicated rain event #5098 BESS Gauge found to be double-tipping on one side of bucket during Spring Pass 2000 test Added: None Resolved: #5075 PUTN Replaced bad switch TA9M Current: None Added: None Resolved: #5008 SLAP Corrected TA9M problems by cleaning corroded negative ground WS2M Current: None Added: None Resolved: None TS10 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #5007 SLAP Corrected TS10 problems by cleaning corroded negative ground #5056 SKIA Tightened down power ground port TB10 Current: #5096 BOWL Sensor reports 10 C warm bias during and after rain events Added: None Resolved: #5057 SKIA Tightened down power ground port TS05 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #5058 SKIA Tightened down power ground port TB05 Current: None Added: None Resolved: #5059 SKIA Tightened down power ground port TS30 Current: #5005 CHIC Sensor stuck at -273.1 Added: None Resolved: #5012 SALL Replaced sensor reporting unreasonable values #5060 SKIA Tightened down power ground port ---------------------------------------------------------------- ARS QA REPORT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAIR Current: None Added: None Resolved: None RELH Current: None Added: None Resolved: None SRAD Current: None Added: None Resolved: None RAIN Current: #5092 A181 Gauge recorded no rain during heavy rain event Added: None Resolved: #5055 A133 Repaired vandalized gauge TS05 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None TS10 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None TS15 Current: #5071 A136 Monthly QA indicates 3-4 C warm bias Added: None Resolved: None TS30 Current: None Added: None Resolved: None ======================================================================== LEGEND TAIR Air Temperature measured at 1.5 meters RELH Relative Humidity measured at 1.5 meters WDIR Wind Direction measured at 10 meters WSPD Wind Speed measured at 10 meters PRES Pressure SRAD Incident Solar Radiation RAIN Rainfall TA9M Air Temperature measured at 9 meters WS2M Wind Speed measured at 2 meters TS10 Soil Temperature measured at 10 cm under native sod TB10 Soil Temperature measured at 10 cm under bare soil TS05 Soil Temperature measured at 5 cm under native sod TB05 Soil Temperature measured at 5 cm under bare soil TS15 Soil Temperature measured at 15 cm under native sod TS30 Soil Temperature measured at 30 cm under native sod =======================================================================

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. ======================================================================== TAIR Current: None Added: None
