T&S real-time QC • 1. Platform identification : valid wmo ID • 2. Impossible date test : year greater than 2000 and not in future • 3. Impossible location testLatitude in range −90 to 90 and longitude in range −180 to 180 • 4. Position on land testComparison with ETOP5 bathymetry : will not work properly • 5. Impossible speed test • 6. Global range test on T, Spressure ]-5, 3000] dbar, temperature ]-2.5, 40] °C, salinity ]2, 41] psu • 7. Regional range test on T, S
Oxygen real-time quality control • Since November 2012, a real-time QC is applied to Argo floats oxygen data • Argo floats report oxygen in an homogeneous way as • DOXY : micromole/kg • The oxygen calculation is documented on :http://www.argodatamgt.org/Documentation
Oxygen real-time quality control • An equivalent quality control will be tested on Glider oxygen data • According to that study, the following settings may be applied for oxygen real-time QC • Global range : -0,5 to 600 micromole/kg • Spike : 100 micromole/kg • Gradient : 100 micromole/kg
