Open Source Software for the Quality Control of Geophysical Observations
| Welcome to the kvalobs open source software project (kvoss). |
The project is launched by met.no in collaboration with 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 GNU General Public License version 2.
