Quality Controlled Instrument Data from the 2012-2014 Solomon Sea SPICE Moorings

Description:
This repository contains the quality controlled (QC’ed) instrument data for the 2012-2014 Solomon Sea SPICE moorings. QC’ed data is organized by mooring and is in MATLAB MAT-file (.mat). Within a mooring folder, all instrument files have the following naming convention:

Mooring_InstrumentType_SerialNumber_PlannedDepthInMeters_QualityControlLevel.mat

Quality control levels will either be 0 or 1, with 0 indicating basic quality control and 1 indicates a higher level of quality control from the use of per- and post-deployment calibration. 

The full quality control procedure and a detailed description of the mooring deployment and instrument configurations is given in:

Alberty, M. S, Germineaud, C., Sprintall, J., Ganachaud, A., & Cravatte, S. (2017). SPICE Mooring Data Report: Description and Quality Control. UC San Diego: Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Retrieved from https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6xd149s8

The data within each file is a MATLAB structure which contains at least:
- mooring
- meterType
- serialNo
- plannedMeterDepth
- latitude
- longitude
- waterDepth
- endData
- startData
- time
- pressure

The data structure will additionally contain
- The observed quantities
- The units of the observed quantities
- Any relevant metadata concerning the instrument configuration
- The magnetic declination for velocity observations and if the declination has been applied to the observations
- Relevant QC data or an error estimate if applicable
