Each parameter is assigned a data quality flag as defined below: Flag 1: Error free Flag 2: Dubious. Non-specific errors Flag 3: Known errors exist that can be fixed Flag 4: Known errors exist that cannot be fixed Flag 5: No data - not observed Flag 6: Data in analog format only Time and position: 1 Total ice concentration: 1 Open water: 1 Pri ice concentration: 1 Pri ice type: 1 Pri ice thickness: 1 Pri floe size: 1 Pri topography: 1/5 (Percentage ridging = 1; Average sail height = 5) Pri snow type: 1 Pri snow thickness: 1 Sec ice concentration: 1 Sec ice type: 1 Sec ice thickness: 1 Sec floe size: 1 Sec topography: 1/5 (Percentage ridging = 1; Average sail height = 5) Sec snow type: 1 Sec snow thickness: 1 Ter ice concentration: 1 Ter ice type: 1 Ter ice thickness: 1 Ter floe size: 1 Ter topography: 1/5 (Percentage ridging = 1; Average sail height = 5) Ter snow type: 1 Ter snow thickness: 1 Air temperature: 5 Water temperature: 5 Wind speed: 1 Wind direction: 1 Cloud: 5 Current weather: 5 Visibility: 1 Video reading: 5 Photo (film no.): 5 Photo (frame no.): 5 Comments: 1 These data describe pack ice characteristics in the Antarctic sea ice zone.
