  • Error data: 0 of 505

  • Position on land test
  • On land: 0 of 15

    Invalid position: 0 of 15

  • Regional range test
  • Error data (low): 0 of 505

    Error data (high): 0 of 505

  • Gradient test
  • Error data: 0 of 505

Summary of QC

  • QC detected no unnatural profiles.
  • There was no significant bias in comparison with the results of assimilation by JMA.
