• Description:
  "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.
