Quality flags are constructed on a philosophy of two qualifiers. The first described the origin Time series flags describe the origin and the quality of the data and the second the quality.
Possible origins of data are:
1. Original- Original: This entails the data value is the original value. It has not been amended by Delft-FEWS
2. Completed- Completed: This entails the original value was missing and was replaced by a non-missing value.
3. Corrected- Corrected: This entails the original value was replaced with another non-missing value.
Possible qualifiers Qualities are:
4. Reliable- Reliable: Data is reliable and valid
5. Doubtful- Doubtful: The validity of the data value is uncertain
6. Unreliable- Unreliable: The data value is unreliable and cannot be used for calculations like transformations or external models. It can still be viewed and exported with a regular exportModule as long as the unreliable flag is shown with it.
Following this specification, the table below gives an overview of quality flag enumerations
Table D.1 Enumeration of quality flags
Enumeration | Description |
0 | Original/Reliable |
1 | Corrected/Reliable |
2 | Completed/Reliable |
3 | Original/Doubtful |
4 | Corrected/Doubtful |
5 | Completed/Doubtful |
6 | Missing/Unreliable |
7 | Corrected/Unreliable |
8 | Completed/Unreliable |
9 | Missing value in originally observed series. Note this is a special form of |
Original/Unreliable |
...
. Missing values are automatically unreliable | |
10 | Deleted Only used for non-equidistant series when timestep is deleted |
11, 12, 13 | Not used |
14 | Reset Used for rainfall data processing when the storage is reset (canister reset) |
