Quality Assessment

Depth given is approximate, pressures are relative.

Long-term drift has been satisfactorily removed from all data channels.

2820 decibars were subtracted from the bottom pressure, and the temperature has been multiplied by 10 to make the best use of the ACCLAIM file format.

A tidal analysis residual generated by POL has also been included.

PeriodComments
Jan 1998 - Apr 1999The pressure channel has been flagged on day No.'s (1998)087,201,320, (1999)013.
The residual channel has been flagged at the same points.
The temperature channel appears fine.
