Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control Data Source : WOD2005 from NODC Data collected from OCEAN CLIMATE LABORATORY
Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control • Quality Control and storage • Quality indicator : FLAG from NODC, Coriolis QC (automatic tests + objective analysis) • Others Criteria : • - Casts deeper than 900 dbar (to exclude coastal stations and stations shallower than the T-min layers) • - Full-depth profiles kept for station
Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control Boxes : Data into separated 10°x10° WMO boxes and stored under filename ctd_<n°wmo>.mat Temperature : Conversion for in-situ temperature (ITS-90 converted in ITS-68) Salinity : weed out all data points outside these ranges 24<S<41 All profiles stored in original un-interpolated vertical resolution
Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control • Quality Control and storage • Details on variables : • dates (1xn, yyymmddhhmmss) • lat (1xn, north is +, south is -) • long (1xn, 0° to 360°, e.g. 60°W=300°) • pres (mxn, in dbar) • sal (mxn, salinity) • temp (mxn, in-situ temperature in ITS-68) • ptmp (mxn, potential temperature relative to 0 dbar) • source (1xn, unique character strings stored in a cell array : station_id) ctd_3405.mat source: {1x47 cell} dates: [1x47 double] long: [1x47 double] lat: [1x47 double] ptmp: [2000x47 double] pres: [2000x47 double] sal: [2000x47 double] temp: [2000x47 double]
Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control After quality control and others criteria to provide the CTD dataset

Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control WOD2001 (blue) : missing data in WOD2005 and/or after quality control ? Old data < 1990 (no objective analysis for years older than 1990)

Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control • Where find data ? • On the ftp site • ftp.ifremer.fr • cd coriolis/data/DMQC-ARGO • Ask for the login and password (codac@ifremer.fr) • to do a list of users – Information about updates • ARGO2008V01.tar.gz • argo_clim.tar.gz • doc_about_argo_clim
Reference Database for Argo Delayed Mode Quality Control Not yet done - wmo boxes with more than 10000 profiles, only select profiles that are post-1995 • Future • Complete with ‘old’ data (before 1990) • Add recent CTD • Update reference dataset on a regularly base
