Dear Iqbal,

I can confirm that there is an issue with the interface between OSCAR and WDQMS which computes the number of observations expected. I am working on a fix.

For your and the community's information. There is a tool with which you can check the number of observations WDQMS thinks a station should make. It is available here:

https://tools.oscar.wmo.int/oscar_schedules

For example, when we check the station 0-20000-0-96805 (Cilacap) and select an upper-air variable (e.g atmospheric pressure profile), we see that WDQMS expects:

Variable0h: [21-3[6h: [3-9[12h: [9-15[18h: [15-21[Schedules and reporting intervals
12000 1 0 1 0 Jan-Dec/Mon-Sun/0:0-11:59 [12:00:00] <0:0> ,

This is not correct, there should be none in 12h period. This explains the black dot.

We are working on a fix, the problem will then disappear. I will send a notification in this conversation.

best regards,
Timo
