IAP: ocean oxygen product from Institute of Atmospheric Physics.
For IAP analysis, the original in situ oxygen profile observations are from two databases: the World Ocean Database (WOD) and the Argo Global Data Assembly Center (GDAC). World Ocean Database represents the largest depository of the dissolved oxygen profile data, including Ocean Station Data (OSD), and high-resolution CTD profiles. Argo float data are from GDACs; only adjusted and QC-ed data are used. A newly available quality control (QC) procedure has been applied for oxygen profiles from OSD, CTD and Argo instruments. This procedure includes 11 checks to remove outliers and erroneous data for different reasons and features. Based on an inter-comparison between CTD and OSD, Argo and OSD, it has been identified that there is an overall Argo oxygen offset and should be adjusted according to sensor and country. An Ensemble Optimal Interpolation approach is used to fill the data gaps and provide a gridded oxygen analysis from 1m to 6000m with a spatial resolution of 1°×1° since ~1960.
