Table based on GDAC as at 15-Jan-2011

Explanation of categories

All values are the number of floats exhibiting the described conditions for each DAC. The first 4 categories do not distinguish between RT and DM profiles.

# 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.

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.
