xarray.Dataset.argo.filter_qc

Dataset.argo.filter_qc(QC_list=[1, 2], QC_fields='all', drop=True, mode='all', mask=False)

Filter data set according to QC values

Filter the dataset to keep points where all or any of the QC fields has a value in the list of integer QC flags.

This method can return the filtered dataset or the filter mask.

Parameters:

• QC_list (list(int)) – List of QC flag values (integers) to keep

• QC_fields ('all' or list(str)) – List of QC fields to consider to apply the filter. By default we use all available QC fields

• drop (bool) – Drop values not matching the QC filter, default is True

• mode (str) – Must be all (default) or any. Boolean operator on QC values: should we keep points matching all QC fields or ‘any’ one of them.

• mask (bool) – False by default. Determine if we should return the QC mask or the filtered dataset.

Return type:

xarray.Dataset
