Groom-gliders Trieste data-management meeting Trieste, June 2013 Oxygen real-time quality control n Since November 2012, a real-time QC is applied to Argo floats oxygen data n Argo floats report oxygen in an homogeneous way as –DOXY : micromole/kg –The oxygen calculation is documented on :

Groom-gliders Trieste data-management meeting Trieste, June 2013 Oxygen real-time quality control n An equivalent quality control will be tested on Glider oxygen data n According to that study, the following settings may be applied for oxygen real-time QC –Global range : -0,5 to 600 micromole/kg –Spike : 100 micromole/kg –Gradient : 100 micromole/kg
