This document describes how the Real Time Quality Control (RTQC) tests are implemented at the Coriolis data Centre.
These tests are defined in the Argo quality control manuals (#RD1 and #RD2). The present document provides a detailed description of their implementation in the Matlab processing chain that produces Argo V3.1 format NetCDF files.

It details the tests implemented in profile RTQC version 3.1 and trajectory RTQC version 2.1 of the Coriolis Matlab decoder version ‘010a’ (http://doi.org/10.17882/45589).
The implemented tests are defined for the following parameters:
PRES, TEMP, PSAL, DOXY, TEMP_DOXY, CHLA, BBP700, BBP532.
