SGP/OKM - Leaf Wetness Index - Sensor doesn't work properly

The measurement leaf_ind (leaf wetness index, 
measurement of dew ranging from 0 (dry) to 100(wet)) 
should not be used since Mark Shafer of Oklahoma Mesonet
reports that the sensors never worked properly. 

The new quality assured Oklahoma Mesonet data files
sgp15okmX1.b1 will begin with the January 1, 1999
data and will no longer contain this measurement.

• Raw data stream - documentation not supported

• Wetness, leaf index, 30-second sample, 15-min avg(leaf_ind)

SGP/OKM/X1 - Soil Temperature at 30 cm beneath sod not bare soil

The soil temperature measurement at 30 cm is beneath natural sod rather than beneath bare 
soil. Unfortunately it is misnamed tbare30 (soil temperature at 30 cm beneath bare soil). 

The new data streams sgp15okmX1.b1 (which will be provided beginning January 1, 1999) and 
the data stream sgp15okmX1.a1 (beginning December 1, 1999) both have the name and 
description corrected.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Incorrect Station Identifier and Information

On December 17, 1998, the station ALVA was moved from 36.7797, -98.6717, elevation 450 m. 
to station ALV2 36.7083, -98.7075, elevation 439 m. but the data files contain the old 
station name and the old station latitude longitude and elevation until we received the 
June 1999 quality assured files.

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 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.

SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - February 2000

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

==============================================================


       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.

SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - March 2000

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.

SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - April 2000

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.

===============================================================
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?

SGP/OKM Overview of Automated QA - June 2000

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!

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - December 2000

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.

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality -January 2001

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.

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - February 2001

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.

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - March 2001

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.

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - May 2001

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.

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - June 2001

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...

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - July 2001

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.

SGP/OKM - Overview of Automated Data Quality - September 2001

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

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

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.

       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 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - February 2002

Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the February 2002 
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

Oklahoma experienced interesting weather during February. Just as the

state was thawing out from the Jan 30-31 ice storm, snow began to    

fall on Feb 5 and continued throughout the next day. A quick-moving 

line of heavy rain came through on the 19th, and a strong front with  

gusty winds brought us cold temperatures on the 25th and 26th.

 

In spite of the weather extremes, the Mesonet Technicians (Leslie, Kris,

Ken and Bill) resolved 50 trouble tickets during the month. Their work  

included replacement of prop- and cup-type anemometers (damaged during  

the ice storm), scheduled rotations of wind direction sensors in the  

southwestern and southeastern parts of the state, replacement of net

radiometers, and initial installations of telnet power switches at 

several base stations.

 

ARS site A130 was vandalized on February 26. The battery, power cable,

and enclosure lock had to be replaced.

 

**Take a look at the new web-based version of this month's QA report.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality -March 2002

Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the March 2002
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Notes:

On March 1 & 2, most of the state reported snow and a few hours of 

freezing rain. In spite of the fact that the effect of this snow/ice 

event was much less severe than the Jan 30-31 storm, the wind obs at 60 

sites had to be manually flagged for time periods ranging from 3 to 26 

hours due to freezing rain coating the anemometers. Temperatures in the 

state quickly recovered and on March 14, OKC set a record high temp for 

that date of 85 degrees. The southeast part of the state experienced 

heavy rains on two occasions, with Idabel leading the pack at nearly 10 

inches of rain during March. 

 

The Mesonet Technicians began Spring Pass 2002 in March.  During the 

month, they also resolved 75 trouble tickets! In addition to the work

detailed in this report, their work included scheduled replacements of 

10m wind direction monitors (in the past four months, 100 have been 

changed out), and replacement of failed net radiometers, soil moisture 

sensors, ground heat flux plates and soil temp probes. They also 

replaced 7 cup-type anemometers with starting threshold problems 

(likely caused by our three winter ice storms). The initial 

installation of telnet power switches at base stations continued.

 

The data collection software and hardware for the ARS Micronet was 

upgraded to match that used by the Mesonet (upgraded in spring of 2001).

The new collection software is called LoggerNet. Thanks to all involved

in the successful completion of this upgrade.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - January 2002

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.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - April 2002

Below is an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the April 2002 
Oklahoma Mesonet data.
==============================================================
Note:

The coming of Spring brought localized heavy storms and high winds to   
our state several times in April.  Southeast Oklahoma received the 
largest cumulative amount of rain. Talihina was the winner, with 8.5 
inches of rain during the month.

A lightning strike occurred at the Clayton site on April 7th. The 
raingauge, temp & relh sensor, pyranometer, datalogger and radio had to 
be replaced. This site has been struck by lightning 6 times in the past 
6 years!

The Technicians were very busy in April resolving 87 trouble tickets.
Their work included datalogger upgrades and replacement of 13 cup-type 
anemometers with starting threshold problems.

Spring Pass 2002 is well underway with approximately 50 sites visited. 

Now that the sun angles are high, the NRAD and NCOM calibrations of 
pyranometers and net radiometers have begun again.  In April, 3 
pyranometers were changed out as part of the scheduled rotations that 
were begun last fall.

Wind direction (10 m) rotations are now complete for all 115 sites.

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.

SGP/OKM/X1 - Overview of Automated Data Quality - September 2002

Below is a link to an overview from Janet Martinez, the Mesonet QA manager
of the automated quality assurance results for the September 2002 
Oklahoma Mesonet Data.

          OKLAHOMA MESONET/ARS QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT
                          September 2002

  Prepared by Janet Martinez, Bob Fritchie, and Chris Fiebrich  
                 (qamgr@redrock.ocs.ou.edu) 

========================================================================
NOTES:

Mesonet Technicians completed Summer Pass 2002 in late September.  All
116 sites were visited and maintained.  

The Washington site was upgraded to a Supersite on 20 September.   

It was feast or famine across the state for rainfall in September.  
Eufaula and Sallisaw in east central Oklahoma received less than 0.20
inches for the month.  In contrast, much of north central, southeast, 
and the extreme western Panhandle received over 4 inches.  The 
Kingfisher site was the wettest with 7.40 inches.
