This report provides a comprehensive inventory of data received from various sources in the Atlantic area, including details on quality checks, processing steps, and nutrient parameters. It covers datasets on nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and silicate levels before and after quality control procedures. The report also addresses assumptions, conversions, detection limits, and distribution of various parameters. Challenges faced, such as data coverage, handling values below detection, and managing estuaries, are discussed. Valuable insights and recommendations for dealing with data discrepancies and improving data quality are included.

Report on Atlantic area With IFREMER, RIHMI-WDC, IHPT and IEO contributions
Data inventory (1) • Data received in two separated sets • Data collected by MARIS robot (8 757 CDIs) • 8 489 stations of vertical profiles, 268 time series • Additional Spanish data which were not available when the robot run (2 780 CDIs, vertical profiles) Potential duplicates!
Quality Checks • Deletion of empty stations (No measurements on all levels for the parameter) • Deletion of empty lines in a station : some levels with no measurements for the parameter • Search for duplicates (linked to the 2 distinct datasets) • QC using ODV • Search for out of range values with Flag = 1 • Set a QC for all measurements with Flag=0 • Set default values with Flag=0 or Flag=1 to Flag=9 • Write a report on QC and send results to data providers

DIVA PRODUCTS – PROBLEMS faced • Data coverage: for Ammonium, Silicate, Nitrate • Whatis a « reasonable » coverage for a product? • How to make the mask? New topography or masked area? • Data with QF=6 (value belowdetection): how to deelwith? • put value to limit • put value to 0 • How to deal withestuaries?
