GODAE QC Intercomparison Project CORIOLIS Information

The Coriolis QC procedure documentation is online at:
http://www.coriolis.eu.org/coriolis/cdc/quality_control.htm

The data delivered every week to Mercator model is available at:
ftp://ftp.ifremer.fr/ifremer/coriolis/mercator/

The data delivered every day to Soap model is available at:
ftp://ftp.ifremer.fr/ifremer/coriolis/daily/

The data delivered to Mercator and Soap (the model of the Navy) are identical. But, Mercator data has a higher quality control, since a T and S objective analyse is performed on Atlantic area before distribution to the model. The control by operators of the analyses residuals improves the quality control.
The following page describes Coriolis weekly and daily data distribution:

The objective analyses performed on data daily is described at:
http://www.coriolis.eu.org/coriolis/english/applications_products/applications/coriolis_analysis/index.HTM

The results of the analyses are distruted once a week on Live Access server at:
