    • Argo Quality Control Manual for Biogeochemical Data. Version1.0, 1st March 2016. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Thierry, Virginie (CNRS, UMR 7093, LOV, Observatoire Océanologique, Bio-Argo Group, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2016)
      This document is the Argo quality control manual for biogeochemical data. It describes two levels of quality control: The first level is the real-time system that performs a set of agreed automatic checks. Adjustment ...
    • A BGC-Argo Guide: Planning, Deployment, Data Handling and Usage. 

      Bittig, Henry C.; Maurer, Tanya L.; Plant, Joshua N.; Schmechtig, Catherine; Wong, Annie P. S.; Claustre, Hervé; Trull, Thomas W.; Udaya Bhaskar, T. V. S.; Boss, Emmanuel; Dall’Olmo, Giorgio; Organelli, Emanuele; Poteau, Antoine; Johnson, Kenneth S.; Hanstein, Craig; Leymarie, Edouard; Le Reste, Serge; Riser, Stephen C.; Rupan, A. Rick; Taillandier, Vincent; Thierry, Virginie; Xing, Xiaogang (2019)
      The Biogeochemical-Argo program (BGC-Argo) is a new profiling-float-based, ocean wide, and distributed ocean monitoring program which is tightly linked to, and has benefited significantly from, the Argo program. The ...
    • Bio-Argo quality control manual for Chlorophyll-A concentration. Version 1.0, December 17th 2014. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Claustre, Herve; Poteau, Antoine; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio (IFREMER, 2014)
      This document is the Bio-Argo quality control manual for Chlorophyll A concentration. It describes the method used in real-time to apply quality control flags to Chlorophyll A concentration calculated from specific sensors ...
    • Processing BGC-Argo CDOM concentration at the DAC level. Version 1.0. October 10th 2017. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Organelli, Emanuele; Poteau, Antoine; Claustre, Herve; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2017)
      In the open ocean, Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) is the fraction of the total Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM), composed by a mixture of chemically complex algal degradation products that interact with light. CDOM ...
    • Processing BGC-Argo measurement timing information at the DAC level. Version 1.0, March 28th 2017. 

      Bittig, Henry C.; Schmechtig, Catherine; Rannou, Jean-Philippe; Poteau, Antoine (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2017)
      Thermal lag or sensor time response corrections (e.g., [1]) require knowledge of the time of each individual sensor observation. In the Argo data system, the float's trajectory file is the natural place to put measurement ...
    • Processing BGC-Argo particle backscattering at the DAC level. Version 1.4, 07 March 2018. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Poteau, Antoine; Claustre, Herve; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio; Dall'Olmo, Giorgio; Boss, Emmanuel (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2018)
      This document does NOT address the issue of particle backscattering quality control (either real-time or delayed mode). As a preliminary step towards that goal, this document seeks to ensure that all countries deploying ...
    • Processing BGC-Argo Radiometric data at the DAC level. Version 1.1, October 9 th 2017. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Poteau, Antoine; Claustre, Herve; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2017)
      Presently, radiometers can be implemented on profiling floats to estimate some radiometric measurements. Hereafter we briefly describe the principle of this method and several configurations of the OCR500 series instruments. ...
    • Processing bio-Argo chlorophyll-A concentration at the DAC level. Version 1.0. 30 September 2015. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Poteau, Antoine; Claustre, Herve; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio; Boss, Emmanuel (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2015)
      This document does NOT address the issue of chlorophyll-a quality control (either real-time or delayed mode). As a preliminary step towards that goal, this document seeks to ensure that all countries deploying floats ...
    • Processing Bio-Argo nitrate concentration at the DAC Level. Version 1.1, March 3rd 2018. 

      Johnson, Ken; Pasqueron De Fommervaul, Orens; Serra, Romain; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio; Schmechtig, Catherine; Claustre, Herve; Poteau, Antoine (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2018)
      The only method used to date to measure dissolved nitrate concentration (NITRATE) with sensors mounted on profiling floats is based on the absorption of light at ultraviolet wavelengths by nitrate ion (Johnson and Coletti, ...
