Data Warts and Causes Pressure Temperature Salinity
Data Warts & Causes: Temperature • Thermal mass errors. • As the float ascends through temperature gradients, the cell corrupts the water temperature. The temperature corruption induces a conductivity error.
Data Warts & Causes: Temperature • Salinity drifts caused by long-term temperature drifts?
Warts & Causes: Pressure • Druck Snowflakes • Internal shorts caused by conductive particles suspended in oil. • Pressure samples are erratic or off-scale.
Warts & Causes: Pressure • Druck Microleaks
Warts & Causes: Pressure • APEXs with Apf8 controllers don’t report negative surface pressure.
Warts & Causes: Salinity • Salinity drifts high of correct.
Warts & Causes: Salinity • Salinity drifts high toward correct. • TBT contamination flushes out of the cell as the profile is collected.
Warts & Causes: Salinity • Salinity jumps low of correct.
Warts & Causes: Salinity • Salinity hooks. • STP sample collected at the apogee of descent forms a high-of-correct “hook” with respect to shallower samples.
Warts & Causes: Salinity • Salinity hooks. • Ascent/descent asymmetry in Bernoulli flushing. • Higher salinity water in cell carried from surface (or park level) to deep profile level. • Incomplete flushing results in salinity that is high-of-correct by ~0.005PSU.
