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.

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.

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.

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?

| 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!

=======================================================================
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.

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.

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.

| Description: | 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. |

of the automated quality assurance results for the January 1999
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
There are a few special events that were flagged by the automatic
QA that you may want to be aware of:
Date Station Parameter(s)
---- ------- ------------
01/06 CHEY TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
01/12 SALL TAIR - Cold-air drainage at this low-lying
site caused it to be spatially inconsis-
tent with neighboring stations; ignore
the flags.
01/18 MEDI TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
01/19 WIST RELH,TAIR - Cold-air drainage at this low-lying
site caused it to be spatially inconsis-
tent with neighboring stations; ignore
the flags.
01/24 CHEY TAIR - Station poked above the cold inversion
layer; disregard the flags.
01/28 BBOW WS2M - Completely calm conditions held the wind
speed at 2-m at 0.0 m/s all day long;
this caused our persistence program to
flag the data. Disregard the flags.
01/30 CHAN,MIAM PRES - Wind gusts to 45+ mph caused pressure
spikes; ignore the flags.

for the month of January, 1999
Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day
Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)
===========================================================================
Notes:
After a fairly long dry spell, the last weekend of January brought 1 to 2
inch rainfall totals to most sites in the Mesonet. This event brought
to our attention an under-reporting gauge at NOWA.
Along with the rainfall, the Panhandle stations got quite a bit of
freezing rain and snow. The 10-m wind sensors were most affected
this time around. GOOD, BEAV, HOOK, and SLAP all had their
anemometers
freeze solid as the ice accumulated.
And now, on to the report...

========================================================================
Forces of Nature:
SHAW, SALL and CLAY were each struck by lightning during the month
of April, causing varying degrees of damage to the instrumentation
at those sites. CLAY is no stranger to lightning strikes. This was
its third strike since its birth in March of 1994. As a preview to
next month's QA report, I'd like to note that CLAY saw its FOURTH
strike just last week!
Bulls were reported to have attacked BRIS during April, knocking down
a pyranometer stand, destroying the temperature and RH sensor, and
causing damage to the rain gauge there.
Mischievous cows also knocked down the pyranometer stand at WASH.

OKLAHOMA MESONETWORK/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
for the month of June, 1999
Based upon observations taken at 1800 UTC each day
Prepared by Chris Fiebrich (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu)
=======================================================================
Notes:
Lightning struck at WALT, OKEM, and A182 during June. All 3 sites suf-
fered damage to their dataloggers, radios, and wiring panels. In
addition, the pyranometer and RH sensor at OKEM were damaged, while the
soil moisture sensors, rain gauge, and numerous soil temperature
sensors were damaged at WALT. A182 also required a new pyranometer
due to its strike.
After thorough Mesocomp performed by Ken Meyers in the ARS network,
numerous T/RH sensors were replaced in late June and early July
in anticipation of SGP99.
