DMQC Reference database
 
 

 

!! NEW RELEASE !!

contact : Codac

October 2008

A new version of the ARGO climatology (ARGO_for_DMQC) is available on the ftp site (see July 2008 to get access).

 

July 2008

The updated reference database for ARGO, including the WOD05 CTD, is now available at Coriolis. The dataset is available on the ftp site, password protected and you can get Username/Password by sending an email at Codac

This version, that you must reference as ARGO2008V01, takes into account the conversion ITS90 to ITS68 for the temperature.

The Argo float Ref DB (argo_clim) provided by John Gilson is also available on the same ftp site. 

Note : If you detect an anomalie in the ARGO2008V01 database, please report to codac indicating the code 'source' of the station concerned (in the file ctd_<n°box>.mat) and the correction to be applied : the "source" code allow us to link the data provider and the reference of the station and to provide feedback to the provider to avoid getting the same problem while updating the database.

 

*******************************************

 

Previous reference dataset

To process delayed mode quality control on floats, each DM operator has improved the database for his area and we have at present 4 different reference databases : SeHyd for the Pacific, IOHB for the Indian, BS (Böhme-Send) + ATL CTD or Hydrobase for the Atlantic. 

SeHYD and IOHB are available in a form suitable as input files (wmo_boxes) fro WJO/OW. IOHB has data formatted in both WJO standard levels and as full profiles. SeHYD is available only at WJO standard levels.

On the following links, you will have access to those different regional reference databases :

Atlantic Ocean

        Recent CTD from Coriolis and Böhme-Send method      contact : Codac

        Atlantic Hydrobase   :  web site hydrobase

Pacific Ocean

        SeHyd from JAMSTEC       contact : Taiyo Kobayashi

Indian Ocean

        Indian Ocean HydroBase from JAMSTEC    IOHB    contact : Taiyo Kobayashi

Southern Ocean

        CCHDO has extracted for ARGO recent CTD (2001-2006) and made them accessible to the Argo Delayed mode operators. These data ore on the ifremer ftp site. Please contact codac@ifremer.fr to get an user name / password

 

Be careful that all those datasets must be only used for the delayed mode quality control of the Argo floats, some data of the added cruises have confidential access.
