Types of High-Altitude Meteorological Documents, Weather Radar, Ozone, and Ultraviolet Radiation Inspected, Controlled, and Assessed

How are the types of high-altitude meteorological documents, weather radar, ozone, and ultraviolet radiation checked, controlled, and evaluated?

According to Article 4 of Circular 04/2022/TT-BTNMT (effective from July 18, 2022), the types of high-altitude meteorological documents, weather radar, ozone, and ultraviolet radiation that are checked, controlled, and evaluated are defined as follows:

The materials to be checked, controlled, and evaluated include paper documents (various types of observation data recording books, reports, tables recording statistical results, calculations) and data-containing files:

1. Radiosonde documents: files containing raw data, calibration data, statistical data, and reports.

2. High-altitude wind documents: observation data, files containing calculated observation results, and reports.

3. Ozone and ultraviolet radiation documents: files containing raw data, files containing calculated observation results, statistical data tables, and reports.

4. Weather radar documents: files containing raw data and reports.

What are the contents of high-altitude meteorological documents, weather radar, ozone, and ultraviolet radiation checks?

Article 5 of this Circular stipulates the contents of checks on high-altitude meteorological documents, weather radar, ozone, and ultraviolet radiation as follows:

1. Receiving the materials and checking the submission time according to regulations.

2. Checking the quantity, capacity, and classification: inspecting the number of copies, number of pages of paper documents, number of information carriers (data files, CDs, DVDs, storage drives, etc.) of the documents.

3. Checking the physical condition and form of the documents: inspecting whether the documents are damaged, wrinkled, torn, blurred, erased, or incorrectly formatted (for paper documents); checking for warping, mold, breakage, virus infection, or inability to open files on information carriers.

4. Checking the legal validity and completeness of the documents: inspecting whether the source of the documents is implemented by observation equipment provided by the managing authority; specifications regarding the series, machine number, or source of the equipment; checking the number of sections, subsections for paper documents, the number of files, and the capacity of each data file.

5. Checking to determine the status of observation works and observation equipment:

a) Inspecting the report information on station works and technical corridors;

b) Inspecting to determine the calibration, inspection, maintenance, and storage of equipment;

c) Inspecting to determine the completeness of materials, consumable equipment.
