Also, could be good to arrange a second review of the stations (the measurements have expanded significantly without pro-rata, or any operational support). We need to discuss what we do here. 2013-08-29 update: AW: MHD is not cooperating strongly with ACTRIS or GAW. E.g., no followup with SMPS that was evaluated by WCCAP. CW: also problems with PFR. Stefan Nyeki visits 2/year, but not getting good data. Irish Valencia station is working well. Time to terminate PFR @MHD? PL: What to do about Global GAW stations that don't contribute data? PL: should send a letter from SAG to MHD expressing concern about data quality and submission. |
