All VOS-Clim ship data is monitored: against background 6-hour forecast fields for all variables except SST, for which analysed fields from the previous day are used. Key to table below ------------------ NumObs : number of observations from the ship during the month %GE : percentage of obs with gross errors (for GE limits see below) StdDvn : standard deviation of obs-background, excluding obs with gross errors Bias : mean obs-background, excluding obs with gross errors RMS : root mean square of obs-background, excluding obs with gross errors Suspect selection criteria for each variable: At least 20 observations from the ship and one or more of the following:- %GE > 10% |Bias| > Bias limit (see below) StdDvn > StdDvn limit (see below) Limits: | Press.| Wind Speed | Direct.| Air Temp.| Rel.Hum.| SST | ------- | (hPa) | (m/s) | (deg) | (deg C) | (%) | (deg C)| Bias limit | 2.5 | 5 | 30 | 2.0 | 12 | 2.0 | StdDvn limit | 5.0 | 10 | 60 | 4.0 | 20 | 4.0 | GE limit | 15.0 | 25 | 150 | 10.0 | 50 | 10.0 | Callsign Element NumObs %GE StdDvn Bias RMS ------------------------------------------------------------ A8KW3 PMSL 27 0 1.3 5.6 5.7 DQVG PMSL 47 0 0.5 -7.1 7.1 OZDJ2 PMSL 31 0 1.5 3.7 4.0 TBWUK38 PMSL 21 0 4.1 2.6 4.9 VRGM8 PMSL 45 0 1.8 4.1 4.4 WCX7445 PMSL 204 36 8.5 3.7 9.2 WCX7445 T 204 0 3.5 4.7 5.9 BATEU07 RH 462 4 15.2 -44.2 46.7 CGBR RH 188 0 8.2 18.1 19.9 CGDR RH 168 0 8.4 12.3 14.8 TBWUK38 RH 20 0 7.2 19.8 21.0 VCSZ RH 275 0 7.5 16.4 18.0 ZCDA9 RH 434 0 8.5 12.6 15.2 ZCDN9 RH 43 0 16.0 -19.5 25.2 CGTF SPEED 576 1 3.4 -5.0 6.0 DEDI SPEED 29 10 5.1 0.5 5.1 MGGK4 SPEED 42 19 2.8 2.4 3.7 ZCDU9 SPEED 38 29 3.1 0.6 3.1 2BLY2 DIRN. 21 0 45.7 -34.8 57.5 DEDI DIRN. 27 11 74.2 37.1 83.0 DGXS DIRN. 24 4 103.6 5.7 103.7 MCUV3 DIRN. 25 0 60.0 -6.3 60.3 MGDM DIRN. 20 0 66.4 9.6 67.1 MGRX2 DIRN. 26 0 41.9 -31.2 52.3 TBWUK35 DIRN. 52 8 65.5 -15.6 67.3 V7OE6 DIRN. 29 0 85.1 48.5 98.0 VCRG DIRN. 377 6 97.9 -8.6 98.3 VRYO3 DIRN. 407 3 73.3 -15.3 74.9 WCX7445 DIRN. 185 0 47.0 84.7 96.8 ZCDN9 DIRN. 23 0 95.1 48.8 106.9 A8KW3 SST 28 0 1.3 2.9 3.1 A8PK9 SST 56 0 0.5 2.9 3.0 CGBY SST 59 0 0.5 2.4 2.4 CGDR SST 308 0 0.7 2.5 2.6 DGTX SST 52 0 1.9 2.7 3.3 PCAW SST 32 0 0.4 -2.4 2.5 PCUI SST 25 0 2.5 2.8 3.7 PEBT SST 21 0 1.2 -2.0 2.3 TBWAA05 SST 68 0 1.6 -3.7 4.1 VCRG SST 196 0 1.4 2.2 2.6 VQIC2 SST 22 0 1.3 2.0 2.4 WCX7445 SST 254 0 3.3 2.4 4.1 WCX8884 SST 35 11 3.2 -4.7 5.6 WFLG SST 72 0 0.8 -3.2 3.3
