TSG-QC: A tool for interactive quality control of sea surface temperature and salinity

TSG-QC is a tool for interactive analysis and validation of sea surface temperature and salinity data acquired from a Thermosalinograph (TSG) installed on research or commercial ships. It has been developed under Matlab. It allows:

• Visualization of TSG variables: Temperature, salinity and ship speed

• Interactive comparison with climatological values (WOA and ISAS)

• Automatic quality control using selected threshold criteria

• Data validation and adjustment with external measurements (water samples, collocated Argo data, CTD, ...)

• Quantitative estimation of sensor drift.

The software can deal with different input data formats: ASCII, Labview, Seabird, GOSUD NetCDF...

The use of TSG-QC from sources requires a valid Matlab license. A compiled version is available free of charge for users who do not have a Matlab license.
