The BGC-Argo data management team decided that DOXY parameter (moles_of_oxygen_per_unit_mass_in_sea_water) should not be used without adjustment.
- DOXY_QC is systematically set to 3: bad data that are potentially correctable
Coriolis DAC implemented that decision on July 1st 2020 and gradually resubmitted existing files.
Now, we put our effort in delivering DOXY_ADJUSTED with PARAMETER_DATA_MODE=A, more suitable for scientific use.
To deliver a real time DOXY_ADJUSTED parameter, a float PI should provide its DAC with an adjustment. The adjustment may be a gain, calculated from the 5 initial floats cycles with:
- Comparison with in air measurement (ppox)
- Comparison with bottle samples
- Comparison with a climatology
Sorry for the inconvenience it may cause during the transition phase.
