OG1: 16 of 16 mandatory global attributes present · 12 highly-desirable missing — see the File contents page for the full attribute listing.
Payload — a sensor counts as present when its OG1 variable exists in the file; the source is the SENSOR_* catalog entry named by the variable's sensor attribute, and the model and attributes are read from that entry (as in the File-contents sensor catalog).

(5) QC — as delivered
As delivered — rtqc_method: IOOS QC QARTOD https://github.com/ioos/ioos_qc. Flag labels are read from each variable's flag_meanings. The file does not record the thresholds used.

(6) QC — glidertest diagnostics
Profile number: No issues detected. Profile duration: 4 profiles have abnormal duration.
glidertest diagnostics — run on the fly, not written to the file. Thresholds are glidertest's own (hardcoded for the Baltic), shown so the verdict can be reproduced.

Test × variable: flagged-sample counts (per-sample tests show a small dashed bar). Gross range applies the suspect span only — the fail span above is not yet evaluated. Hysteresis counts depth bins with >5% dive–climb error; a variable is flagged when more than 5 bins exceed it.
| Test | TEMP | PSAL | DOXY | CHLA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross range | clean | 4 out of range | 14,579 out of range | 385 out of range |
| Spike | clean | 6 susp 15 fail | 21 susp | clean |
| Flat line | 2,757 susp 1,178 fail | 6,728 susp 2,249 fail | 306 susp 390 fail | 537 susp 7,413 fail |
| Hysteresis (mean) | 0/82 bins | 0/82 bins | 20/82 bins | 68/82 bins |
