Results of QC

A total of 32 profiles (675 data, reported by BATHY or TESAC) were received from the KEIFU MARU.
The results of JMA quality control are as follows.

Grounded test

Error data: 0 of 675

Position on land test

On land: 0 of 32

Invalid position: 0 of 32

Regional range test

Error data (low): 0 of 675

Error data (high): 0 of 675

Gradient test

Error data: 0 of 675

Summary of QC

QC detected no unnatural profiles.
There were large differences between observation data and the results of assimilation in areas near the Kuroshio front (around 32°N).
