Climate Data

Scope of Core Data Air temperature Precipitation Rain Snow Relative Humidity Barometric Pressure Solar Radiation Wind

Design and Status of Core Data All variables collected at two primary climate stations – LTER1, LTER2, Wetlands (site to be added) CPCRW – Variable array has a number of differences in the radiation measurements (e.g. no PAR) Select variables collected at “A” reps of the BCEF Air temperature Summer precipitation (throughfall) PAR

Core Data Availability QA/QC – Definition Quality Assurance (QA) is defined as a procedure or set of procedures intended to ensure that a product (climate monitoring equipment) under development (before work is complete, as opposed to afterwards) meets specified requirements. Quality control (QC) is a procedure or set of procedures intended to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria or meets the requirements of the client or customer.

Core Data Availability Data that has passed QA/QC procedures LTER1 & LTER2 precipitation data “A” site precipitation data – QC in progress All other data sets have various states of QA QC is not current on other data sets

Recommendations Add a QA/QC column in the list of datasets Finish QA/QC on all climate datasets Move the QA/QC line in the dataset descriptions to its own section after the Methodology section Perform all necessary tasks to maintain the QA on all sensors Sensor placement design dependent on new proposal direction – but this is a “LONG-TERM” experiment
