ACT does not support QC format from ARM's new Simple QC Feature in Data Discovery #781

Closed AdamTheisen closed 7 months ago

AdamTheisen commented 9 months ago

ARM Data Discovery has implemented a new feature to simplify the QC that we may need to add in additional QC functionality to be able to work with it. A request has been sent to standardize the QC metadata to follow existing ARM standards but if that is not implemented we will have to adjust.

The new format would follow

        int qc_atmos_pressure(time) ;
                qc_atmos_pressure:long_name = "Quality check results on variable: Atmospheric pressure" ;
                qc_atmos_pressure:units = "1" ;
                qc_atmos_pressure:description = "This field contains qc values which should be interpreted as listed:\n",
                        "0 = Good: Data exists and passed all qc tests.\n",
                        "1 = Indeterminate: Data may be bad, further analysis recommended.\n",
                        "2 = Bad: Data has a bad value.\n",
                        "3 = Missing: Data is missing." ;
                qc_atmos_pressure:standard_name = "quality_flag" ;
                qc_atmos_pressure:flag_method = "bit" ;

We should not devote effort to this until discussions around the format are resolved.

Closing this issue out. We can open a new one if needed when the feature is fixed and implemented again.
