Title: Argo quality control manual for dissolved oxygen concentration
DOI: 10.13155/46542
URL: https://dx.doi.org/10.13155/46542
last pdf: https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00354/46542/82301.pdf
Authors: Thierry, Virginie; Bittig, Henry
Abstract: This document is the Argo quality control manual for Dissolved oxygen concentration. It describes two levels of quality control: The first level is the real-time system that performs a set of agreed automatic checks. Adjustment in real-time can also be performed and the real-time system can evaluate quality flags for adjusted fields. The second level is the delayed-mode quality control system.

Title: Processing Argo oxygen data at the DAC level
DOI: 10.13155/39795
URL: https://dx.doi.org/10.13155/39795
last pdf: https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00287/39795/94062.pdf
Authors: Thierry, Virginie; Bittig, Henry; Gilbert, Denis; Kobayashi, Taiyo; Kanako, Sato; Schmid, Claudia
Abstract: This document does NOT address the issue of oxygen data 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 equipped with oxygen sensors document the data and metadata related to these floats properly. We produced this document in response to action item 14 from the AST-10 meeting in Hangzhou (March 22-23, 2009). Action item 14: Denis Gilbert to work with Taiyo Kobayashi and Virginie Thierry to ensure DACs are processing oxygen data according to recommendations. If the recommendations contained herein are followed, we will end up with a more uniform set of oxygen data within the Argo data system, allowing users to begin analysing not only their own oxygen data, but also those of others, in the true spirit of Argo data sharing. Indications provided in this document are valid as of the date of writing this document. It is very likely that changes in sensors, calibrations and conversions equations will occur in the future. Please contact V. Thierry (vthierry@ifremer.fr) for any inconsistencies or missing information. A dedicated webpage on the Argo Data Management website (www) contains all information regarding Argo oxygen data management : current and previous version of this cookbook, oxygen sensor manuals, calibration sheet examples, examples of matlab code to process oxygen data, test data, etc..

Title: BGC-Argo quality control manual for the Chlorophyll-A concentration
DOI: 10.13155/35385
URL: https://dx.doi.org/10.13155/35385
last pdf: https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00243/35385/60181.pdf
Authors: Schmechtig, Catherine; Claustre, Herve; Poteau, Antoine; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio; Schallenberg, Christina; Trull, Thomas; Xing, Xiaogang
Abstract: This document is the BGC-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 mounted on Argo profiling floats.
