The Coriolis data centre is one of the two Argo Global Data
Assembly Centers (GDAC). Coriolis data service provides
quality-controlled in-situ data in real-time and delayed
modes. Managed data sets are mainly T-S profiles and time series
from profiling floats, XBT's, thermo-salinographs, drifting and
moored buoys. The service is a gateway to global ARGO data and
processes floats for the European GyroScope pilot array. The
centre is the in situ data provider for the Mercator data
assimilation project. Data transmitted by floats are processed,
checked for quality and distributed to the GTS and Internet with
minimum delay (24 h).
The data service works in close association with a scientific
team to define procedures for data validation, quality control,
formats and products.
