Problems in V1.0
| Variable | Version | Problem | Reason and fix plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| WND U/VWND | V1.0 | Extremely large wind values (e.g., > 30 m/s) or zero value are occasionally found in the near coastal and sea ice regions. | A technical problems in data processing procedure. It will be fixed in the next data update. |
| QA | V1.0 | Data availability near sea ice regions is different year to year. | The reason is a problem in our data processing program code about sea ice flags for SSMI and SSMIS brightness temperature. We will fix this issue by the next data update. |
| QA | V1.0 | Artificial distribution depending on water vapor scale height (Hv) | This is because of a minor problem in our Qa estimation method. It will be fixed to use a latest and fixed version by the next data update. |
| TA10 | V1.0 | Extremely large values (e.g., > 40 deg. C) are occasionally found in the near coastal region. | A technical problems in data processing procedure. It will be fixed in the next data update. |
