The data are quality checked by a standardised method.
Climate Parameter Quality Check for site TS1
Checking modules:
1. Does a value exist?
Quality flag is set to
"d = missing"
2. Checking of site specific threshold value.
If the value is not inbetween the thresholds the quality flag is set to "c = out of range":
Windspeed max = 15
Rad Max = 1300
tsoil0cm max = 30
tsoil0cm min = 6
tsoil10cm max = 23
tsoil10cm min = 7
Tsoil60cm max = 17
tsoil60ccm min = 10
Air temperature in 2m max = 26
Air temperature in 2m min = 5
Air humidity max = 100
Air humidity min = 10
3. Precipitation check
If precipitation is more than 35 mm then quality flag is set to "c = out of range"
If precipitation is more than 15 mm and air temperature increases more than 0.2 °C inbetween a temporal interval then quality flag is set to "e = variation impossible".
5. Wind direction is not quality checked and flag is set to "nqc = not quality checked"
All other values are set to "a = valid".
