For example, the altimeter variable processed by the spatial consistency check and analyzed by RSAS includes reported altimeter observations, plus altimeter values calculated from station pressure and elevation, plus sea level pressure obs if the station elevation is <= 25 m. If any of the observations needed for the derived obs are on the reject list, the variable will not be calculated. The results of the spatial consistency check will be stored in the QC database associated with the primary variable used in the derivation, e.g., relative humidity QC results will include the spatial consistency check results from the dewpoint obs derived from the relative humidity obs.
