This page shows results for the PX46 line based on monitoring by the KEIFU MARU and comparison with the result of assimilation by MOVE-NP.

Overall statistics

Number of profiles	Number of data	AVE	RMSD	MAXD	MIND
19	6669	0.15	0.59	3.79	-4.03

Abbreviations in the table indicate:
AVE: average difference (observation value minus assimilation value)
RMSD: root mean square of difference
MAXD: maximum difference
MIND: minimum difference

Results of QC

A total of 19 profiles (395 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 395

Position on land test

On land: 0 of 19

Invalid position: 0 of 19

Regional range test

Error data (low): 0 of 395

Error data (high): 0 of 395

Gradient test

Error data: 0 of 395

For details of JMA's quality control procedures, please refer to this page.

Summary of QC

QC detected no unnatural profiles.
The observation data has deeper mixed layer and sharper thermocline than the assimilation data in the seas south from 10°N.
