Hi Alexandra,

We have generated a new version of the XBT data for each cruise.
In this new version, we have added the metadata that include the 
QFs based on a thorough quality check ( keeping bad data with flags and 
not deleting them), and added a new variable where the data ave been 
corrected applying the Fall Rate Correction (FRC) based on Cheng et al., 
2014.

This version contains the raw data with quality control values. 
A users can choose which level of quality they want to use and also eventually 
change the FRC methodology they prefer. 

We would like to upload an updated version of the XBT data to the NCEI 
platform and remove old data files.

All the best
Yuri
