Data Quality and Data Control

Data quality is monitored by the Icelandic Meteorological Office on a day to day basis.

Weekly and monthly analyses and statistics are produced by at the UK Meteorological Office and are included in the EGOS Monthly Report.

Information on dubious data and monthly quality statistics are distributed according to DBCP guidelines.

The Icelandic Meteorological Office operates an automatic INTERNET mail service "buoy-qc@vedur.is" to facilitate the exchange of data quality information among users.

If a buoy produces doubtful or erroneous data the Technical Secretary will, after a consultation with the data quality services, act to have these sensor data removed from the GTS.
