  1. GTSPP Global Temperature and Salinity Profile Project http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/GTSPP/ “A cooperative international program designed to develop and maintain a global ocean T-S resource with data that are as up-to-date and of the highest quality as possible.” “The primary goal of the GTSPP is to make these data quickly and easily accessible to users. ”

  2. GTSPP PARTNERS MEDS:Canada / Marine Environmental Data Service Real-Time data assembly, QC, Duplicate management NODC:NOAA / National Oceanographic Data Center Continuously managed database Delayed mode data QC Data Matching (Real-time / Delayed / Best Copy) Data available as monthly files (Web Database Access soon) AOML:NOAA / Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory Scientific QC, Atlantic Ocean SIO:Scripps Institution of Oceanography Scientific QC, Pacific Ocean (In the future at IPRC/APDRC) CSIRO:Australia / Commonwealth Scientific, Industrial and Research Organization Scientific QC, Indian Ocean IFREMER:France / Institut français de recherche pour l'exploitation de la mer) TOGA Data QC

  3. GTSPP QC METADATA 1. Quality Flags Position, Date-time, Record (whole record) Surface Parameter, Surface Code (each group) Depth/Pressure, Profile Parameter (each level) 2. History groups Up to 99 per station 3. Surface codes (Automated Tests) MEDS: QCP$, QCF$ NODC: QNP$, QNF$, QTE#, QPS# SIO: QSP$, QSF$

  4. GTSPP QC FLAG FIELDS STATION RECORD QUALITY FLAGS Q_Pos Station Position Quality Q_Date_Time Date-Time Quality Q_Record Worst Quality flag in the station PARAMETER GROUP (EACH LEVEL) Depres_Q Depth/Pressure quality Prof_Q_Parm Data Quality SURFACE GROUP QUALITY FLAGS Q_Parm Surface Parameter Quality SRFC_Q_Parm Surface Code Quality

  5. GTSPP QC FLAG VALUES DATA QUALITY CODES (IGOSS) 0 - no quality control (QC) was performed on this element 1 - QC was performed; element appears to be correct 2 - QC was performed; element appears inconsistent with other elements. 3 - QC was performed; element appears to be doubtful 4 - QC was performed; element appears to be erroneous 5 - the value was changed as a result of QC 6 - 8 - reserved for future use 9 - the value of this element is missing
