The the aggregated product includes QC flags in the output file, while the hourly product excludes data values not flagged as "good" or "prodbably good". Both of these make the implicit assumption that the input file uses the "IMOS standard flags".
More specifically,
All _quality_control variables in the aggregated product output files are given the attributes:
Luckily this is sort of compatible, in that selecting only flags "1 or 2" gets us only the good data. However, for the aggregated product, re-labelling these flags as if they were from the IMOS scheme is misleading. In effect all the "good" data (flag 2) will now look like it's only "probably_good_data".
