Quality

ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: Not provided LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: Unknown COMPLETENESS REPORT: Completeness information not available. LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP: PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The 6-hourly positions were digitized off the NMC Northern Hemisphere cyclone charts giving a latitude and longitude. These were then converted to the common extratropical cyclone format which only gives 12-hourly positions. If a 6-hourly position fell within a different 10-degree square than the 12-hourly positions either side of its position, then a 10- degree square was added to the record. The digitized centers were plotted back at 100 percent and laid over the original charts and checked to insure the quality of the digitizing. The direction of movements and speed were then computed based on the digitized 12-hourly positions. Also computed were the 10-degree squares. PROCESS DATE: Unknown
