Data management

For this study, permission was first obtained from the Zambia Meteorological Service to use the rainfall data from the eight stations and from Moorings to use data collected by the station itself. The Moorings data were then scrutinised to check for missing data as well as for data errors. A sample of daily rainfall data (in inches) included in the 1921+ sheet of CS7Data is shown as it was received from the Zambian Meteorological Service.
