8. DATA PROCESSING
8.1 Data Processing (1)8.1.1 General Explanation of the data producer's knowledge about thelineage of a dataset
Air pressure, Air Temperature, relative humidity, Dewpoint Temperature,
Wind speed and direction are instantaneous values.
Precipitation is accumulated on the previous minute.

And the two parameters indicated below were computed by using"CEOP Derived Parameter Equations:
http://www.joss.ucar.edu/ghp/ceopdm/refdata_report/eqns.html" .
also put the data flag "I",4

Specific Humidity were computed by using (Bolton 1980):
e = 6.112*exp((17.67*Td)/(Td + 243.5));q = (0.622 * e)/(p - (0.378 * e));where:
e = vapor pressure in mb;
Td = dew point in deg C;
p = surface pressure in mb;
q = specific humidity in kg/kg.
U,V Components (4.6m) were computed by using (GEMPAK):
U = -sin(direction) * wind_speed;
V = -cos(direction) * wind_speed;
