Shear-probe quality-control flags

The Q (quality control) flags associated with shear-probe measurements are bitwise flags with boolean values which are CF compliant. More information available here: https://mplnet.gsfc.nasa.gov/about-flags

Every dissipation estimate from every probe must have Q flag. The numerical values of the Q flags are as follows:

Flag Mask Bit Flag Meaning Example threshold value Ex: True =1 / False =0 Ex: Q value
1 Bit 0 Poor figure of merit 1.15 0 0
2 Bit 1 Large fraction of data with spikes 5% 0 0
4 Bit 2 Anomalously large disagreement between dissipation estimates from probes 2.772 1 4
8 Bit 3 Too many iterations of despiking routine 8 0 0
16 Bit 4 Insufficient variance resolved 50% 1 16
32 Bit 5 manual flag to be defined by user N/A 0 0
64 Bit 6 manual flag to be defined by user N/A 0 0
128 Bit 7 manual flag to be defined by user N/A 0 0
Final Q = 20


The Q flags are combined by their addition. For example a Q value of 20 means that the dissipation estimated failed both dissipation ratio limit test and the resolved variance test. A value of 255 means that all tests failed. The reasons for a failure can be decoded by breaking the value of Q down to its powers of 2.
