[expert] FORTRAN code for RTQC of bio-optical variables #15

Closed cgrdn closed 3 years ago

cgrdn commented 3 years ago

Is your QC expertise request related to a problem? Please describe. Argo Canada is deploying floats equipped with bio-optics (CHLA, BBP, CDOM) next year. To this point, we have only worked with DOXY in terms of BGC variables, and so we do not have a RTQC method set up for these "new to us" variables. Since our DOXY code is written in FORTRAN, we plan/hope to stay consistent with that. Can anyone share or point me to existing code to do this that we could adapt to our DAC?

Describe the Argo data you'd like to validate Incoming data stream to the MEDS DAC.

Describe QC methods you've already considered I'm familiar with the RTQC tests for these variables, just don't want to re-write something I am quite sure already exists!

Additional context N/A

FYI, BODC needs to enhance/replace its RTQC toolbox, and is looking at doing so in Python as a complete set. Would be great to work with anyone who wants to go in this direction.

@cgrdn I'm pretty sure @catsch will be able to point you toward the most appropriate and up to date softwares for RTQC of bgc variables @catsch, can you please give us a hint here, thanks

cgrdn commented 3 years ago

@matdon17 long term I/we at Argo Canada would be interested in working on that with you. For the moment just looking for something that can slide into our existing infrastructure easily, but overall I think we want to push our RTQC toward python as well.

Or may be someone from @euroargodev/bgc_argo_qc can comment on this

cgrdn commented 3 years ago

Hi all, there has been some follow up between @catsch and I via email and I feel that we resolved this issue, so I'm going to close it. Thanks!
