Easily detectable rubbish is sorted out here.<\/p>\n<p>QC1 is the most important quality check level. It means that the report is confirmed by a reliable source. Reports from trusted partners will immediately receive this quality flag.<\/p>\n<p>QC2 means that extraordinary work has been performed to verify the validity of all pieces of information given in a certain report. This QC level is typically assigned for reports based on detailed case studies on a scientific level. Therefore QC2 is relatively rare compared to QC1.<\/p>\n<p>For statistical studies we suggest to take QC1 as a lower bound. For some purposes QC0+ can be used as well, if cautiously interpreted. ESSL can give advice on the best use of ESWD data and their QC levels.<\/p>\n<p>A PDF slide of the ESWD QC scheme can be downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190110_QC-slide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESWD_QCscheme2018-1024x698.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESWD_QCscheme2018-1024x698.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESWD_QCscheme2018-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESWD_QCscheme2018-768x523.png 768w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESWD_QCscheme2018-440x300.png 440w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/ESWD_QCscheme2018.png 1130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each ESWD report is quality checked either by ESSL or one of its official partners: NHMSs (National or Regional Hydrometeorological or Meteorological Services), VONs (trusted Voluntary Observer Networks) or VOPs (trusted Voluntary Observer Persons) who concluded written agreements with ESSL. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/european-severe-weather-database\/eswd-quality-control\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":169,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"sidebar-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2011","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2011"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3729,"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2011\/revisions\/3729"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
