attribute NC_GLOBAL note_CHAR_variables String RPS METADATA ENHANCEMENT NOTE\nVariables of data type 'CHAR' have been altered by the xarray and netCDF4-python libraries to contain an extra dimension (often denoted as 'string1'). This is due to an underlying issue in the libraries: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1977. Upon examination, one will find the data has not been altered but only changed shape. We realize this is sub-optimal and apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
attribute NC_GLOBAL note_FillValue String RPS METADATA ENHANCEMENT NOTE\nMany variables in this dataset are of type 'char' and have a '_FillValue' attribute which is interpreted through NumPy as 'b', an empty byte string. This causes serialization issues. As a result, all variables of type 'char' with '_FillValue = b' have had the _FillValue attribute removed to avoid serialization conflicts. However, no data has been changed, so the _FillValue is still \"b' '\".

attribute NC_GLOBAL processing_level String Argo data are received via satellite transmission, decoded and assembled at national DACs.  These DACs apply a set of automatic quality tests (RTQC) to the data, and quality flags are assigned accordingly.  In the delayed-mode process (DMQC), data are subjected to visual examination and are re-flagged where necessary.  For the float data affected by sensor drift, statistical tools and climatological comparisons are used to adjust the data for sensor drift when needed.  For each float that has been processed in delayed-mode, the OWC method (Owens and Wong, 2009; Cabanes et al., 2016)  is run with four different sets of spatial and temporal decorrelation scales and the latest available reference dataset.  If the salinity adjustments obtained from the four runs all differ significantly from the existing adjustment,  then the salinity data from the float are re-examined and a new adjustment is suggested if necessary.  The usual practice is to examine the profiles in delayed-mode initially about 12 months after they are collected,  and then revisit several times as more data from the floats are obtained (see details in Wong et al., 2020).\n

attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String These data are ocean profile data measured by profiling Argo S2A floats at a specific latitude,  longitude, and date nominally from the surface to 2000 meters depth.  Pressure, in situ temperature (ITS-90), and practical salinity are provided at 1-m increments through the water column.  Argo data from GOM LC1 (9 floats) and LC2 (12 floats) were delayed mode quality controlled and submitted to Global Data Assembly Centers (GDACs) in May 2020.   All available profiles are planned to be revisited and evaluated in early 2021.  Float no. 4903233 started showing drift in salinity at profile no. 77, and the salinity data will be carefully examined with a new adjustment in early 2021.\n
