Data quality control

The Bureau of Meteorology's rainfall and temperature analyses use reliable data collected through electronic communication channels and screened for errors, but not yet fully quality controlled.

Full quality control is completed some weeks after the end of the most recent month when

  • extreme values are confirmed by written reports, and;
  • data is compared with nearby stations so that values and date of occurrence are similar.
