1. OSCAR/Surface & WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring tools
Relationships, interfaces and data-flows
Timo Pröscholdt, WIGOS PO, WMO Secretariat

2. CPDB, WDQMS and OSCAR
CPDB
WDQMS
pilot
OSCAR/ Surface

3. WDQMS, OSCAR in the context of monitoring
WDQMS pilot
OSCAR
Primary purpose
Describe how well WIGOS is providing required observations, and report findings, incidents
(Quality monitoring & incident mgt. of global/national assets)
Understanding observational data, GAP analysis, support WDQMS, support CPDB, use as national DB
(Technical doc/analysis of global/national assets)
Users
Members, Regional WIGOS centers, users of data
Network planners/managers, data users
(scientists, eg. climatologists), international organizations
Temporal resolution
6-hourly
Monthly
Displays
Received vs expected, Used? , O-B
(by observation)
Declared status, reporting status, schedules , ..

4. WDQMS -> OSCAR WDQMS -> OSCAR List of stations unknown in OSCAR
Reporting status by station and observation to populate OSCAR
Through custom web endpoint in WDQMS
Decide which observations to use (for the moment, use surface pressure)
Monthly
Need to define thresholds
Link to WDQMS for getting more detail

5. OSCAR -> WDQMS List of stations for WDQMS station baseline
Daily update
Currently through VolA legacy file
Use OSCAR API in the future
Which stations in OSCAR are the WDQMS baseline?
Observation frequency for WDQMS reporting status baseline
Currently based on old Volume A
Need «int. reporting frequency» field in OSCAR (how many observations are shared?)

6. Next steps Add «international reporting interval» to OSCAR/Surface
Link WDQMS-tool to OSCAR/Surface for baseline
Enable «reported status» to OSCAR/Surface station report

7. Reporting status in OSCAR/Surface

8. Accumulated questions
WDQMS Station baseline (OSCAR filter)
Joint understanding of «int. reporting interv.»
Reporting status codelist in OSCAR

9. What is the role of CPDB?
