Quality Control and Processing of Historical Oceanographic Temperature, Salinity,and Oxygen Data

摘要

The paper describes the quality control procedures used to identify erroneous ornonrepresentative measurements in temperature, salinity, and oxygen databases used in the construction of climatological atlases. In conjunction with a similar paper dealing with phosphate, silicate, and nitrate, this paper intends to establish standard quality control of oceanographic data at the NODC Ocean Climate Laboratory.
