Table based on GDAC as at 28-Sep-2013
Explanation of categories
All values are the number of floats exhibiting the described conditions
for each DAC.
# floats - number of floats in each DAC
Trunc & known offset - floats which are believed
(from info in tech and meta files) to be a type which truncates, and for which
the fixed firmware surface offset value (eg 5dbar) is known.
Floats apparently truncating and known offset, but corrected SP is negative
at some stage - In theory this should not happen, however the occasional
small -ve value is not a worry. Frequent or large negatives could arise from the
float being wrongly identified as a truncating type. Values of exactly -5 can
indicate missing SP reported as 0, or maybe 5dbar offset removed twice!
TNPD whole series - truncating floats with no +ve SP
TNPD part series - truncating floats with no +ve SP after some
point
All the following conditions are determined for the D-files only.
TNPD in D-files - floats with TNPD in DM processed profiles (rather
than only in profiles which have not yet been DM processed.)
TNPD 6months DM - floats with TNPD in DM processed profiles spanning at
least 18 cycles, so would expect TNPD status to be acknowledged.
Some QC=1 - floats with some TNPD profiles with minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_QC==1
Some QC=2 - floats with some TNPD profiles with minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_QC==2
Some QC=3 - floats with some TNPD profiles with minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_QC==3
Some QC=4 - floats with some TNPD profiles with minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_QC==4
Looking for the approved TNPD comment string in the SCIENTIFIC_CALIB_COMMENTS
variable. Now allow for the first dimension of that variable, NCALIB to be >1
(thanks to John Gilson). However, I still expect to find the TNPD string in
the parts of the variable that correspond to the pressure parameter. That is,
we always expect PARAMETER(1,:) = 'PRES', so any comments associated with pressure
should be in SCIENTIFIC_CALIB_COMMENTS(n,1,:)
Imperfect COMMENTS present - floats where some profiles have
comment containing "ncated" and "TNPD" or "TNDP", but not the full correct
string.
Some COMMENTS present - floats where some profiles have correct
TNPD comment.
Some COMMENTS absent - - floats where some of TNPD profiles do NOT have
a correct or even imperfect TNPD comment.
Some min err 2.4 - floats where some of TNPD profiles have a
minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_ERROR of 2.4
Some min err 20 - floats where some of TNPD profiles have a
minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_ERROR of 20
Some not 2.4 or 20 - floats where some of TNPD profiles have a
minimum PRES_ADJUSTED_ERROR of neither 2.4 nor 20.
