7. 4 th steering committee – Amsterdam 2-3 December 2014 7/19 P35 aggregation Deletion of empty lines in a station : some levels with no measurements for the parameter Deletion of lines with negative depth (incorrect missing value) QC using ODV – Search for out of range values with Flag = 1 – Set a QC for all measurements with Flag=0 – Set default values with Flag=0 or Flag=1 to Flag=9 – Replace zeros with Flag=1 by ½ LOD and flag 6 ? – Use N:P ratio ? Write a report on QC and send results to data providers QUALITY CHECKS (1)

9. 4 th steering committee – Amsterdam 2-3 December 2014 9/19 Many zero values, notably in russian data : Some entire profiles and several half-profiles with zeros -> missing data or LOD? -> use the LOQ/3 values from IHPT ? ZERO VALUES PHOS_oldNb 0 value Flag 14877 Flag 313 Flag 490 Total4980

10. 4 th steering committee – Amsterdam 2-3 December 2014 10/19 QUALITY CHECKS – PROBLEMS FACED Problem of unit conversion : ug/l to umol/l -> reload russian data and some spanish data Problem in CDI updating -> high spanish Phosphate to delete New QC flags have been changed compared to the 1 st QC, but also some of the reported errors to data centres have not been corrected : -> have to work on the three packages and not only the new CDIs!! -> we cannot just import the new collection in the collection built up after the first harvesting. We have to re-make the whole QC work.
