Caveat from Argo International Steering Team |
|
Argo near real-time data is subject
to only coarse fully-automated quality control checks.
Argo delayed-mode procedures for
checking sensor drifts and offsets in salinity rely on a statistical
comparison of the float data with reference data. An adjustment is made
when the float PI judges that it will improve the quality of the
dataset. Users should include the supplied error estimates in their
usage of Argo delayed-mode salinity data.
For both near real-time and delayed
mode data, proper and appropriate use is the responsibility of the user.
|
 | Coriolis data service provides quality-controlled in-situ data in real-time
and delayed modes. Managed data sets are mainly T-S profiles and
time series from profiling floats, XBT's,
thermo-salinographs,
drifting and moored buoys. |
|
| The service is a gateway to global ARGO data . The centre is
the in situ data
provider for the Mercator data assimilation project
as well as the European Operational Oceanography Mersea project. |
|
| Data transmitted by floats are processed, checked for quality and
distributed to the GTS and Internet with minimum delay
(24 h). |
|
| The data service works in close association with a scientific team to
define procedures for data validation, quality control, formats and
products.
