## MOQ - Mountain Observation QC

#### Quality control methods in MATLAB (SW_Obs_QC_v2.m) developed explicitly for mountain observations of irradiances. 

#####Specifically targets:

1. Burial of [sensors by snow](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2015WR017590/full) (MOQ_SOD_Detect.m) ![image of snow on dome @ Snoqalmie](https://github.com/klapo/moq/blob/master/TimeLapse.Snoqualmie.SnowOnDome.png)
2. Shading (SW_Obs_QC_PlottingTool_SolGeo.m)

#####Additionally:

-Includes climate based checks (MOQ_LongShiLimits_Graph.m) based on QCRad.

#####Notes on dependencies:

1. Plotting transmissivity requires [colorbrewer](http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/34087-cbrewer---colorbrewer-schemes-for-matlab)
functions

2. Assumes times/dates are in [time_builder](http://www.github.com/klapo/time_tools) format
