Real-time quality control (qc) of oceanographic data is usually accomplished by testing data points against a variety of conditions to identify the quality of the data. Since 2012, the U.S. Integrated Observing System (U.S IOOS®) Program Office Quality Assurance/Quality Control of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (Qartod) Project has worked with the ocean-observing community both nationally and internationally...
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System (MARACOOS) is one of the eleven Regional Associations (RAs) comprising the coastal network of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (US IOOS). MARACOOS involves participants from academia, government, the private sector, and non-profit entities, and covers the ocean and estuaries from Cape Cod, MA to Cape Hatteras, NC. The high...
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a project funded by the National Science Foundation which provides over 100,000 data products. OOI Cyberinfrastructure takes a two-pronged approach to data quality control: system level and human-in-the-loop. With system level, the system runs datasets through a series of six algorithms: global range, local range, stuck value, gradient, trend, and spike...
A current focus of the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (NGDAC) is on the adoption and implementation of quality control (QC) methods in use by the broader oceanographic community. In 2015, U.S. IOOS, soliciting input from this community, began drafting a glider specific QC manual focusing on temperature and salinity measurements made by autonomous underwater...
The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) Quality Assurance/Quality Control of Real Time Oceanographic Data (QARTOD) project approaches a five-year anniversary in 2017. The highly successful protocol already used to generate quality control manuals for nine specific oceanographic variables continues to serve the project well. It was recently used to create a high frequency radar QC manual,...
The Quality Assurance/Quality Control of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (QARTOD) project was formally adopted in 2012 as a part of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Data Management and Communication (DMAC) system. A well-established process has resulted in eight manuals that provide specific quality control tests for a variety of U.S. IOOS core variables of interest. Specifically, the...
The Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data (QARTOD) Project is an activity of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Program Office designed to establish and document the minimum quality control and quality assurance procedures a non-federal Regional Information Coordination Entity must perform to meet certification criteria. Regional entities like the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing...
This paper summarizes the quality control (QC) tests used to verify ocean wave and in situ current data collected and shared by ocean observing systems, federal data centers and oceanographic research institutions. The categories in common for both waves and currents are defined as: (1) sensor health, (2) signal quality, and (3) parameter quality. The main differences being that while wave measurements...
