Manual for Real-Time Quality Control of In-Situ Current Observations: a Guide to Quality Control and Quality Assurance of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Observations. Version 2.0. [SUPERSEDED by http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-536]

Abstract

The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to the U.S. IOOS and the in-situ currents community at large for the real-time QC of in-situ current measurements using an agreed-upon, documented, and implemented standard process. This manual is also a deliverable to the U.S. IOOS Regional Associations and the ocean-observing community and represents a contribution to a collection of core variable QC documents. This manual documents a series of test procedures for ocean currents data QC. Current observations covered by these procedures are collected in oceans, coastal waters, and lakes in real time or near-real time. The scope of real time has expanded to accommodate the span of the 26 variables covered by U.S. IOOS ...
