Manual for real-time quality control of dissolved nutrients observations : a guide to quality control and quality assurance for dissolved nutrients observations in coastal oceans Guide to quality control and quality assurance for dissolved nutrients observations in coastal oceans QARTOD manual Dissolved nutrients

"The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to the U.S. IOOS and the dissolved nutrients community at large for the real-time QC of DN measurements using an agreed-upon, documented, and implemented standard process. This manual is also a deliverable to the U.S. IOOS Regional Associations and the ocean observing community and represents a contribution to a collection of core variable QC documents. Most operators provide real-time data on a provisional basis, alerting users that post-processing is required to validate their data. However, even this provisional data should be quality controlled. Data released in real time should be subjected to automated QC processes, which: 1) provide a quality-control indicator, 2) alert the operator when questionable or interesting data are presented, and 3) prevent the dissemination of bad data"--Page 3.
