GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS Ancillary Description
Quality An important part of the data-packaging process at the Carbon Dioxide
Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) is the quality assurance (QA) of
the data before their distribution. The QA process is an important
component in the value-added concept of ensuring accurate, usable
information. The complete QA of a data set can be a time-consuming
process, since data received by CDIAC are rarely in condition for
immediate distribution, regardless of source. See the documentation
at http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/epubs/ndp/ndp061a/ndp061a.htm for
details on the quality checks performed for this dataset.
