Description

The Data Quality (DQ) Office coordinates the ARM Climate Research Facility's efforts to produce datastreams of quality suitable for scientific research. With the Data Quality Office, the Instrument Team, and others within the program regularly review and assess ARM's datastreams for problems. Data quality analysis results are then communicated to data users as well as to ARM's site operators and engineers. This data quality program helps minimize the amount of unacceptable data collected, and helps ensure that informed decisions are made when people use the data. The DQ Office is continually striving to improve this process and all processes that potentially impact data quality and usability.
