Different platform types are shown in different colors, with outliers (erroneous observations) shown in gray. Each symbol stands for one observation.

Tropical moorings include TAO/TRITON, PIRATA, RAMA etc. Coastal moorings are all other moorings.

N_Obs - number of observations;
N_QC - number of obs passed QC;
DR,GC,TC,SC,RC,XC - number of erroneous obs detected by each check:

• DR - Duplicate Removal
• GC - Geolocation Check
• TC - Travel-speed Check, aka. Tracking
• SC - SST-gradient Check, aka. Spike check
• RC - Reference SST Check, aka. background check
• XC - Cross-platform Check, aka. buddy check
• AL - All checks combined.

SST statistics are calculated over SST anomaly (in situ - reference) with clean data only (passed QC).
BIAS,SD - mean, standard deviation;
SKEW,KURT - skewness, kurtosis;
MED,RSD - median, robust SD;
N_Mtchp - number of (in situ - reference) matchups

Same day 0.25deg daily OI SST analysis (AVHRR only) is used as reference to calculate SST anomaly.

N_ID - number of platforms/ID;

N_Obs - number of observations;
Bias,SD - statistics of SST anomaly (in situ - reference);
SST statistics are calculated over SST anomaly (in situ - reference) with clean data only (passed QC).
Same day 0.25deg daily OI SST analysis (AVHRR only) is used as reference to calculate SST anomaly.

Ship QC, Drifter QC... - QC statistics of each platform type;
Error Rate - percentage of erroneous obs detected by each check:

• DR - Duplicate Removal
• GC - Geolocation Check
• TC - Travel-speed Check, aka. Tracking
• SC - SST-gradient Check, aka. Spike check
• RC - Reference SST Check, aka. background check
• XC - Cross-platform Check, aka. buddy check
• AL - All checks combined.

NOBS - number of observations;
N_QC - number of obs passed QC;
Rate - percentage of erroneous obs detected by QC;
DR,GC,TC,SC,RC,XC - number of erroneous obs detected by each check:

• DR - Duplicate Removal
• GC - Geolocation Check
• TC - Travel-speed Check, aka. Tracking
• SC - SST-gradient Check, aka. Spike check
• RC - Reference SST Check, aka. background check
• XC - Cross-platform Check, aka. buddy check
