• Description:
  The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) has a vested interest in collecting high-quality data for the 34 core variables (https://ioos.noaa.gov/about/ioos-by-the numbers) measured on a national scale. In response to this interest, U.S. IOOS continues to establish written, authoritative procedures for the quality control (QC) of real-time data through the Quality Assurance/Quality Control of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (QARTOD) project, addressing each variable as funding permits. This manual on the real-time QC of temperature and salinity data was first published in December 2013 as the fourth core variable to be addressed and was updated in December 2015; this is the second update. Other QARTOD guidance documents that have been published by the U.S. IOOS project to date are listed below and are available at https://ioos.noaa.gov/project/qartod/. They are also available from the NOAA repository at https://repository.library.noaa.gov and at the IOC / GOOS Ocean Best Practice System at https://www.oceanbestpractices.org/. Users are encouraged to check the IOOS website to ensure they have the most recent version of the manuals.
