Description

The Coal Authority is considering options for a single data storage system which will consolidate our environmental data sets, incorporate data processing, quality checking and editing tools (including recording of any automated, or manual data changes) and make the data more accessible for use across the business. Calculation of weir ratings & uncertainties and sample scheduling would also be useful additional tools. Data analysis suited to rapidly creating statistics from time series data is desirable.
