Eidgenössisches Departement des Innern EDI Bundesamt für Meteorologie und Klimatologie MeteoSchweiz 1 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Eidgenössisches Departement des Innern EDI Bundesamt für Meteorologie und Klimatologie MeteoSchweiz METEO-Cert: Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler (MeteoSwiss) 15 th EMS Annual Meeting 2015 Sofia | Bulgaria | September 10 th 2015

2 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) MeteoSwiss started integrating public and private partner stations into their network in order to increase the coverage of meteorological surface observations and to reduce costs. To address concerns about the quality of these stations the acceptance procedure METEO-Cert was developed and applied to both partner and MeteoSwiss’ own stations. Goals of METEO-Cert are to create a quality label for weather stations and comparability between public and private weather stations. Furthermore the systematic acquisition of metadata is also important! Motivation & Goals

3 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Procedure Pre-Analysis (Auditor) Audit on site (Auditor & Operator) Post-Analysis (Operator) Cycle repeated every 5 years! Auditor = Neutral third-party organization conducting assessment

4 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Quality Labels Fully compliant All WMO requirements fulfilled Fully compliant All WMO requirements fulfilled Compliant Most requirements fulfilled Not compliant / Special Site Some important WMO requirements not fulfilled! Be aware of the limitations and use data with caution. Not compliant / Special Site Some important WMO requirements not fulfilled! Be aware of the limitations and use data with caution.

5 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) METEO-Cert: Report

6 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Criteria assessed in METAS-Cert The quality of a station is influenced by many factors. METEO-Cert does take into account 80 criteria per station summarized in the following categories: 1.Instrument 2.Siting and Exposure 3.Maintenance and Observer 4.Post-Analysis

7 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Criteria 1 In order to be «fully compliant» an instrument has to meet all the requirements listed in the CIMO guide including: Achievable measurement uncertainty (CIMO Guide, Annex 1D) Ventilation Heating Protection and more… 1.Instrument 2.Siting and Exposure 3.Maintenance and Observer 4.Post-Analysis

8 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Criteria 2 METEO-Cert includes the following criteria: CIMO Siting Classification (CIMO Guide, Annex 1B) Measurement Height Correct station exposure (CIMO Guide, Annex 1C) Rain gauge not mounted on roof and more… 1.Instrument 2.Siting and Exposure 3.Maintenance and Observer 4.Post-Analysis

9 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Criteria 3 METEO-Cert includes the following criteria: How often are instruments calibrated (in lab) How often does operator do control measurements on site How often is maintenance by warden done Is there an automatic data control? Is there a parallel measurement? (At least three criteria should be fulfilled to be fully compliant) 1.Instrument 2.Siting and Exposure 3.Maintenance and Observer 4.Post-Analysis

10 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Results Stations (instruments) inspected by METAS from 2013 to July 2015:

11 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Results: Overall for 526 instruments

12 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Conclusions The acceptance procedure METEO-Cert… works!  Meaning: It delivers meaningful results is objective and reproducible led to the improvement/relocation of MeteoGroup stations generates metadata that is stored in the MeteoSwiss DataWareHouse (DWH) and can be used by applications will be integrated in the MeteoSwiss data retrieve tools will be an important source of information for future generations if 5-year-cycle is kept up

13 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Eidgenössisches Departement des Innern EDI Bundesamt für Meteorologie und Klimatologie MeteoSchweiz Appendix Additional results

14 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Results: Instrument accuracy (according to manufacturer) But correct heating is sometimes an issue with partner stations!

15 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Results: CIMO Siting Classes

16 METEO-Cert - Acceptance Procedure for Automatic Weather Stations Joël Fisler, Marlen Kube, Bertrand Calpini (MeteoSwiss) Results: Maintenance and Observer
