It's possible that MSAS grids can become corrupted. In these cases,
persistence grids need to be eliminated to give the system a clean start.
To do so, "restart" through the LDAD Monitoring and Control System, or
access PX1 and PX2 and type:
MSAS utilizes observation quality control information provided by the
AWIPS Quality Control and Monitoring System (QCMS) (described in the D2D
User Guide, section 8). Occasionally, bad observations will pass through
the automated quality control checks provided by the QCMS, without being
flagged as bad. In these cases, bullseyes may appear in the MSAS grids.
To eliminate the bullseyes, add the offending station to
the QCMS reject list,
and follow the procedures above to provide a clean start.
Good observations can sometimes be incorrectly labeled as bad by the QCMS, and therefore not be considered by the MSAS analyses. In these cases, the analyses may not contain the detail reflected in the observational database. To force the ingest of an observation, add the desired station to the QCMS accept list, and follow the procedures above to provide a clean start.
The accept and reject lists read by the MSAS system for each run time
are output in the following files:
