Shear-probe quality-control flags

The Q (quality control) flags associated with shear-probe measurements are not compatible with the Ocean Sites Ocean Sites for quality control (QC) coding.

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

      1, if FOM > FOM_limit
      2, if despike_fraction > despike_fraction_limit
      4, if |log(e_max)-log(e_min)|> diss_ratio_limit X \sigma_{\ln\varepsilon}
      8, if despike_iterations > despike_iterations_limit
      16, if variance resolved > 50% 
      32, manual flag defined by user


Flag Mask Flag Meaning Bit Example threshold value Ex: True =1 / False =0
1 if FOM > FOM_limit Bit 0 2 0
2 if despike_fraction > despike_fraction_limit Bit 1 40% 0
4 log(e_max)-log(e_min)|> diss_ratio_limit X \sigma_{\ln\varepsilon} Bit 2 N/A 1
8 if despike_iterations > despike_iterations_limit Bit 3 To be confirmed 0
16 if variance resolved less than a threshold Bit 4 50% 1
32 manual flag to be defined by user Bit 5 N/A 0
64 manual flag to be defined by user Bit 6 N/A }
128 manual flag to be defined by user Bit 7 N/A 0


The Q flags are combined by their addition. For example a Q value of 3 means that the dissipation estimated failed both FOM_limit test and the despike_fraction test. A value of 15 means that all tests failed. A failure of any one test ([math]\displaystyle{ Q\ne0 }[/math]) means that a dissipation test should not be trusted. The reasons for a failure can be decoded by breaking the value of Q down to its powers of 2.
