Dear WDQMS experts,
I am reviewing data for a station in WDQMS. For a full month, we expect 744 values for the wind direction to have the station indicator appear in green. Out of these 744 observations, 261 have the wind direction coded as 99.
I understand that 99 represents a variable wind, not missing data. However, in WDQMS, the station indicator appears in orange, which seems to treat the 99 values as missing.
Could you please clarify how WDQMS interprets these 99 values? Should variable wind be considered as valid data for the station status, or is it automatically counted as missing?
Thank you very much for your guidance.
Best regards,
