CTDCAL currently has very limited flagging on non-SBE data and often if there are questions/problems with the "raw" discrete data they go unreported until the data analysts have completed a run.
Adding these checks to CTDCAL when the files are initially assessed can help warn the data analyst in advance that they should find the temp/salinity/oxygen/nutrient analyst before they are off watch.
[ ] Temperature - frequency checks, formatting, looking for multiiple runs
[ ] Salinity - questionable headers (standard dial irregularities), unorthodox standardizations, non-incrementing sample bottles, "outlier" conductivities (suggestive of standardization setting being too low), non-real answers, missing standardizations
