QC2d-4 Statistics control Mean Value Method

Description of Method

The arithmetic mean value of 30 days observations M is calculated. Day d is the date 15 days prior to present. Daily station specific normal values is extracted from the climate database. The value M' is the normal value of day d.

Corresponding values at three neighbour stations are Mn1, Mn2, Mn3. Corresponding reference normal value at three neighbour stations are Mn'1, Mn'2, Mn'3.

An error is detected when

| M - M' | > tol1

and at least two of the three following inequalities are satisfied

| Mn1 - Mn'1 | < tol1

| Mn2 - Mn'2 | < tol1

| Mn3 - Mn'3 | < tol1

where tol1 is a tolerance value
