This analysis was based on GDAC at 18-Dec-2010
The following table records operator decisions [guesses] affecting the pressure correction treatment for each float, based on the tech file surface pressure offset parameter name.
NOTE:Pressure treatment is presently based strictly on surface pressure offset parameter name. Many SOLO and maybe some PROVOR/Martec floats auto-correct despite using names like"pres_surfaceoffsetnottruncated_dbar", so these will appearto be wrongly corrected.

No correction: either the pressure does not need adjustment for SP, or we do not know what adjustment to do.
Correction Type 1:
RT profiles: P-SP(n)
DM profiles: P-SP(n+1)
Truncating: a type which truncated SP
SP Adjust (dbar): eg 5 (dbar) for many Apex floats
