11BU RV Belgica CTD profiles data
This datasets is a summary of the CTD profiles measured with the RV Belgica. It provides general meta-information such as the campaign code, the date of measurement and the geographical information. An important information is the profile quality flag that describes the validity of the data. A quality flag = 2 means the data is generally good although some outliers can still be present. A quality flag = 4 means the data should not be trusted. 1 meter binned data can be download on the SeaDataNet CDI portal (enter the cruise_id in the search bar) ONLY for the good quality profiles. Full acquisition frequency datasets are available on request to BMDC.

- Statement
- The data is logged with the dedicated SeaBird software on board the RV Belgica. After the data transfer to shore, the profiles are converted and quality checked with a custom notebook procedure. The notebook uses the SeaBird software capabilities and clean the profiles with outliers removal and noise reduction. The manual checks are the good functionning of the CTD pump and the global ranges of the different measured parameters. A quality flag is attributed to each cast to describe the general quality of the profile (2 = good quality, 3 = suspect data, 4= bad data).
