Quality Assurance
Monthly Reports
The Oklahoma City Micronet quality-assurance (QA) consists of three principal components: 1) laboratory calibration, 2) automated QA, and 3) manual QA.
In the instrument laboratory, all sensors are calibrated to validate or improve upon factory calibrations.
To make a first pass through the 500,000+ observations that are received from the Oklahoma City Micronet each day, automated QA software includes numerous algorithms to evaluate the data received from remote stations.
Finally, QA meteorologists employ numerous manual techniques to complement automated QA, including analysis of monthly statistics to detect sensor drift or bias (click on a month and year to the left to download a PDF version of a Monthly Report). In addition to detecting problematic sensors, the QA meteorologists trace the true start time of each problem so that appropriate data can be manually flagged as erroneous. The QA meteorologists are responsible for communicating problems to, and coordinating with, appropriate field technicians to ensure proper resolution (see a list of the current outstanding tickets below).
