Processing and QA Review
Tasks:
- reformat for consistency
- perform QA checks
- perform technical and scientific reviews
Example: convert dates to common format (e.g., 7/30/95, 30.07.95 1995.73 to. 07 30 95), generate statistics and plots to check for outliers
Lessons Learned: the majority of data are okay but it takes increasingly more time to resolve the last few problems, may consume 30% of the effort
