====== Open Source Software for the Quality Control of Geophysical Observations ======


|//Welcome to the **kv**alobs **o**pen **s**ource **s**oftware project (kvoss).//|  
[[.kvoss:mission|Mission Statement]]


The project is launched by [[http://met.no|met.no]] in collaboration with [[http://www.smhi.se|SMHI]]


Kvoss is a term to describe a collection of closely related software products dedicated to the quality control of geophysical data, e.g. meteorological observations. The software was initially developed at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. 

Kvoss is made available under the [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html|GNU General Public License version 2]].

Kvoss does no longer exist as common technical unit, but exists on github as different repositories:             |

**Origin of the term kvalobs**

   * kvalobs is an acronym derived from the Norwegian expression "//**kval**itetssikring av **obs**ervasjoner//". The translation of this to English is "quality assurance of observations".
