Snowpaid). • Beginning in February 2007, the following information will be made available on the F-6 and published at NCDC when a backup site is used: • What element of observation • Distance to backup site • 8-point cardinal direction to backup site

  6. Paperless Initiative • Ensures more timely and accurate reporting of Cooperative Observer Network (COOP) data to customers, operations, and the national climate archive. • Focuses on transmission via internet and telephone with common databases.

  7. Data Quality Tools • Health of the Network • Identify local data errors • Limited access • http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/hofn • Datzilla • Data problem-reporting/tracking • Field corrections • Link to NOAA data archives • Limited access for users • Standardized NOAA quality control
