            0 = not checked
            1 = appears to be good
            2 = inconsistent with climatology
            3 = appears to be doubtful
            4 = appears to be wrong
            5 = value was changed, see the history record
         Q_DATE_TIME is the quality of the date/time
         Q_RECORD is the worst quality flag for the entire station expressed
             as 1,2,3,5,4,0 from best to worst
         QC_VERSION is the version of quality control software used
