| Abstract |
To support the NMSs in regard to data quality management, we developed an open-source tool called Analysis of Climate Data Application (ACD-App) that allows users to interact with data archived in any CLIMSOFT database. The ACD-App was developed using Shiny, an open-source R package that provides a web framework for building web applications with R (https://shiny.rstudio.com). Its main aim was to facilitate qualitative quality control checks of climate datasets through a graphical visualization of climate data.
However, the app has been improved over the years so that it also allows users to download of data from any CLIMSOFT database, create metadata reports of these data, and even create graphics from data stored in external ASCII fi les. Therefore, the ACD-App enables users to choose between working with data stored in a CLIMSOFT database or in an external ASCII file. |
