AWS Data Summaries
The data received by the University of Wisconsin, Department of
Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, contain all the information received by the
ARGOS system including duplicate and erroneous transmissions. Invalid data
are eliminated during a quality check, and the valid data are converted to
scientific units producing the complete data set. Data selected at three
hourly intervals, plus or minus one hour, produce a three hourly data set for
each AWS unit month. Section 6.1, AWS Performance, provides some explanations for missing and invalid data.
