6. QC Overview Tally variables & files cf-checker
Time coordinate continuity
Temporal min/max/mean
Time-space cross-sections

7. Example QC Plots

8. Fixing errors Metadata errors: fix Data gaps: fill with missing_value
Bad values: replace with missing_value
More serious errors: contact modelers

9. Derived Data Products Derived variables: tools on website
Temporal averages & climatologies
Regridded to 0.5-degree lat/lon grid
Online GIS access via databasin.org
