Data management
Another section of the spread sheet demonstrates a glaring error in the data that was found by us by filtering by eye and had not previously been spotted during original data entry by the Zambia Meteorological Service. The rainfall figure of 70 inches is obviously a mistake and should probably be 0.7 inches. The appropriateness of this correction was confirmed when the data were cross-checked with the monthly totals available from the station (verify with 'Monthly' worksheet in
CS7Data).
