On Provor floats, the Seabird CTD pump is automatically switched off when the pressure is <= 5 decibars.
Since November 2011, all unpumped salinity observations are flagged as bad (QC = 4).
All real-time profiles have been updated : when pres <= 5 decibar, then salinity qc = 4.
In a near future, the unpumped observations will be transferred in an additional vertical profile. For the moment, additional vertical profiles are not yet accepted on Argo GDAC (Global Data Assembly Centre).
