1995: Wave Data Standards Analysis – US Army Corps of Engineers “… provide specifications on the analysis techniques that must be applied to wave data ….to ensure quality and uniformity of the final product. … The standard has evolved through a consensual approach involving the principal organizations which are responsible for the vast majority of wave measurements for this country. “ 2003: Handbook of Automated Data Quality Control Checks and Procedure of the National Data Buoy Center
QUALITY ASSURANCEPressure Sensor Calibration DEEP TANK Soak complete package (sensors & cable) – Establish noise floor • COLD BOX • Constant Temperature • Standard Paros • Battery of statistical test of dynamic pressure responses over several weeks to establish noise floor.
