Namelist Variable Value Description<br />

OBSGRID<br />

Error Max Test: For this test there is a threshold for each variable. These values are scaled for<br />

time of day, surface characteristics and vertical level.<br />

qc_test_error_max .TRUE. Check the difference between<br />

the first-guess and the<br />

observation<br />

max_error_t 10 Maximum allowable temperature<br />

difference (K)<br />

max_error_uv 13 Maximum allowable horizontal<br />

wind component difference (m/s)<br />

max_error_z 8 Not used<br />

max_error_rh 50 Maximum allowable relative<br />

humidity difference (%)<br />

max_error_p 600 Maximum allowable sea-level<br />

pressure difference (Pa<br />

Buddy Check Test: For this test there is a threshold for each variable. These values are similar<br />

to standard deviations.<br />

qc_test_buddy .TRUE. Check the difference between a<br />

single observation and<br />

neighboring observations<br />

max_buddy_t 8 Maximum allowable temperature<br />

difference (K)<br />

max_buddy_uv 8 Maximum allowable horizontal<br />

wind component difference (m/s)<br />

max_buddy_z 8 Not used<br />

max_buddy_rh 40 Maximum allowable relative<br />

humidity difference (%)<br />

max_buddy_p 800 Maximum allowable sea-level<br />

pressure difference (Pa)<br />

buddy_weight<br />

Spike removal<br />

1.0 Value by which the buddy<br />

thresholds are scale<br />

qc_test_vert_consistency .FALSE. Check for vertical spikes in<br />

temperature, dew point, wind<br />

speed and wind direction<br />

Removal of super-adiabatic lapse rates<br />

qc_test_convective_adj .FALSE. Remove any super-adiabatic<br />

lapse rate in a sounding by<br />

conservation of dry static<br />

energy<br />
