Monitoring Report
The primary information on the quality of observation is based on the differences between the observations and the corresponding first-guess fields (6-hour forecasts from the global model). These background fields are usually of high quality but some areas such as tropical regions, areas close to steep orography or with sparse data, the quality of the first guess can be questionable. Therefore, the results should be interpreted with care especially in these areas.
