Hi everyone,
It seems that data is taking longer to get from the field into the TAHMO system than in the past. I get the sense that there is something of an inflection point around 4-6 hours after UTC midnight.
In the past, most data was in by UTC 4am. At this inflection point, there is a 5-8% (absolute) jump in data completeness, say from ~35% to ~40-43%. And, if one waits longer, say until closer to the end of the day, completeness will jump up another 1-3% percentage
points.
Some time ago, I changed from running the jobs at UTC 4am to UTC 5am to help bias the jobs to be on the good side of the inflection point. I'm guessing changing to running the jobs a little later, say
UTC 6am-8am, will offer further improvements in day-to-day data completeness.
If we make this change and run the jobs 1-3 hours later to be more consistently on the good side of the inflection point, are there any issues/problems that might arise from this? At the moment, EAT
is UTC + 3, e.g., UTC 5am is EAT 8am.
Please respond if you know of any issues, have questions, have any preferences on when the reports come out in the day, etc.
Thank you,
Michael
