Development of QC Procedures for Ocean Data Obtained by National Research Projects of Korea

Abstract

To establish data management system for ocean data obtained by national research projects of Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of Korea, KIOST conducted standardization and development of QC procedures. The QC procedure for TS data consists of 16 QC tests applicable for vertical profile data and time series data obtained in real-time mode and delay mode.Three programs were developed to calculate and provide upper limit and lower limit of temperature and salinity at depth from 0 to 1550m. TS data of World Ocean Database, ARGO, GTSPP and in-house data of KIOST were analysed statistically to calculate regional limit of Northwest Pacific area.s of 16 QC tests applicable for vertical profile data and time series data obtained in real-time mode and delay mode.Three programs were developed to calculate and provide upper limit and lower limit of temperature and salinity at depth from 0 to 1550m.
