Description
Overview
A diversity of instruments are used to measure various quantities related to meteorology, precipitation, and radiation near the Earth’s surface. Typically, a standard suite of instruments is deployed to monitor meteorological state variables.
Data Quality
Data collected in real time are minimally processed with basic thresholding done on the software ingest layer. Normally, for post-case analysis, we provide a secondary dataset that is fully processed. Unwanted artifacts reflecting an instrument's failure may be present in the real-time datasets.
The quality-controlled .b0 dataset includes a column with a QC (quality control) flag, indicating if the cup and vane are likely to be frozen. Remove QC > 0.
