Argo Quality Control Manual for CTD and Trajectory Data. Version 3.7.

Abstract

versus pressure. Trajectory data involve positions and time. This document is the Argo Quality Control Manual for CTD and Trajectory data. It describes two levels of quality control and adjustment procedures: • The first level is the real-time system that performs a set of automatic checks and adjustments. • The second level is the delayed-mode system that consists of evaluation and adjustment of the data by experts. These quality control and adjustment procedures are applied to the Argo parameters: <PARAM> = JULD, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, PRES, TEMP, PSAL. For biogeochemical parameters, please refer to "Argo Quality Control Manual for Biogeochemical Data", http://dx.doi.org/10.13155/40879.
