For example, the altimeter variable processed by the spatial consistency check and analyzed by RSAS includes reported altimeter observations, plus altimeter values calculated from station pressure and elevation, plus sea level pressure obs if the station elevation is <= 25 m. The results of the spatial consistency check will be stored in the QC database associated with the primary variable used in the derivation, e.g., relative humidity QC results will include the spatial consistency check results from the dewpoint obs derived from the relative humidity obs. IMPORTANT NOTE: When putting any observations that are used in the derivations on the reject list, you should also put the derived obs on the list as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options and Thresholds for Automated Reject List Processing ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 AUTOFLG: 0 - Don't create automated reject list, 1 - create it 75 NBADPCT: Percent failure threshold used to *put* station/variable on list 25 NGOODPCT: Percent failure threshold used to *take* station/variable off list In addition to the static reject list specified above, the additional capability exists to automate creation of a supplemental list of station/variable pairs to be rejected. This is done once a week, when the weekly text QC summaries are produced. ("Week" in our usage is not calendar week, but is tied to the Julian date. Therefore the day of the week will change the first week of January every year, then stay on that day for the rest of the year. To see which day this is for the current year: ls -l /rtrsas/qc1/qcwk*.dat). The failure rate from the weekly statistics is used to put station/variable pairs onto the list, and take them off the list, using the thresholds specified above. While the default is to use the automated list as well as the static list, you can disable this functionality by setting the AUTOFLG to 0.
