A summary combining all the performance reports from the different WIGOS monitoring centres is generated when option “All” is selected. This means that for each and every period, variable and monitoring category (availability and quality), there is a combined performance report available. The overarching rule for aggregating the information across NWP Centres is that the best data availability and quality result is used to generate a combined performance report. The combined availability performance report will be generated by taking the maximum availability result amongst all Centres (i.e. the information will come from the Centre with the highest total in the period). Regarding the quality, the result that will be retained is the one from the NWP model whose background field is closest to the observed value (i.e., the information will come from the Centre with the smallest O-B departures averaged over the period of interest).
