Table 10 displays a summary of the views available when the options “surface” and “availability” are selected in the WDQMS web tool (for near-real-time NWP monitoring module and Monitoring category, respectively). The maps display the availability performance for each station highlighting differences in reporting performances as well as issues related to the station metadata recorded in OSCAR/Surface. Regarding the reporting performances we have the following categories: not reporting during the period (black); reporting below expectation (orange and red); and fully reporting (green). The metadata issues flagged are the following: station ID not known to OSCAR/Surface (yellow); station with observations not expected during the period according to the schedule recorded in OSCAR/Surface (grey); station reporting more than expected (pink). Clicking on a dot on the map opens up a screen with detailed information about the station data availability including the access to a chart containing the availability statistics over time (30 days for 6-hourly and dally statistics and 24 months for monthly statistics), namely time series with the total number of received observations during the selected interval/variable as well as the number of expected observations according to OSCAR/Surface or the GBON draft provisions (options in the “Baseline” menu). A link to the station metadata in OSCAR/Surface is provided for all stations except for the ones displayed as yellow dots as their IDs (referred as NWP-ID TSI) are not recognised by OSCAR/Surface.
