INSPIRE - Meteorological observation data

Description

DMI carries out a wide range of point measurements at its measuring stations in Denmark and Greenland. The measurements are an automatic process where wind, precipitation, temperature, and water level are measured, and data is forwarded to the DMI. Observation data are so-called raw data, which means that they are not quality controlled or otherwise processed. Thus, erroneous measurements may occur, which is typically due to the fact that measuring instruments have been worn or destroyed by wind and weather, in rare cases have been exposed to vandalism. DMI continuously works with quality assurance and maintenance of its measuring instruments in order to comply with the recommendations of the WMO. Therefore, attention should be paid to the risk of erroneous measurements if using the DMI’s meteorological observation data. The meteorological observations are given in UTC time and the measurements follow the recommendations of the United Nations Organisation for Meteorology, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Oceanographic Commission (IOC - UNESCO).
