Quality control toolbox for EM-APEX data (Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer)

The EM-APEX quality control (QC) toolbox provides a framework to quality control CTD and velocity data and calibrate velocity data collected from Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer (EM-APEX) floats. The toolbox is developed based on float data collected from multiple deployments in the Southern Ocean (2016, 2018, 2020) and southeast Indian Ocean (2013). The EM-APEX data collected from the Southern Ocean in 2018 and 2020 have been quality controlled using this toolbox and is available here. Detailed description of the data quality control procedures is provided in the document ‘EM-APEX QC manual.pdf’.

EM-APEX质量控制（Quality Control，QC）工具箱提供了一套针对电磁自主剖面探测浮标（Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer，EM-APEX）采集的温盐深（Conductivity-Temperature-Depth，CTD）数据与流速数据开展质量控制，并对流速数据进行校准的框架。该工具箱基于南大洋（2016、2018、2020年）及东南印度洋（2013年）多次布放作业获取的浮标数据开发完成。2018年与2020年于南大洋采集的EM-APEX浮标数据已通过本工具箱完成质量控制，可于此处获取。数据质量控制流程的详细说明已收录于《EM-APEX QC手册.pdf》文档中。
