Reliability and Validation
The reliability of the data depends both on the validity of the NMIMET analysis methods and on the quantity and quality of the observations used. In assessing this reliability, consideration has therefore been given to both the validation of the NMIMET analysis, and the effectiveness of the special quality control procedures developed.
