06-Dec-2010: GTSPP Real-Time Quality Control Manual Revised Edition, 2010

mg22rev1_coverThe first revision of the GTSPP Real-Time Quality Control Manual is now available as IOC Manuals and Guides No. 22 Rev.

The purpose of this Manual is to set standards for quality control of real-time data and to describe exactly the screening process that is employed. By reading this document, users may assess the applicability of the procedures to their requirements and thereby judge whether they need do further work before using the data.

This Manual has been produced within the context of the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Programme (GTSPP). Because the work of assuring the quality of data handled by the Programme is shared amongst data centres, it is important to have both consistent and well documented procedures. This Manual describes the means by which data quality is assessed and the actions taken as a result of the procedures.
