Abstract
A test for outliers is discussed and a computer program for its application to meteorological data for purposes of quality control is given. The data for the examples is from the NOARL database of observation minus forecast increments. The program will tag outliers from a group of stations based on daily values over a period of time, mean values over that time period, and standard deviations over that time period
