\item[Gliders:]a set of quality checks have been added to the glider toolbox \citep[][and available at \url{https://github.com/socib/glider_toolbox}]{TROUPIN16} and are in testing phase at the time of the writing. The QC included tests on $NaN$ values, impossible date or location, valid ranges (depending on depth) for the variables, spikes, gradients and flat lines (constant value over a large range of depths) in profiles. The later check proved useful for conductivity (and hence density and salinity). This new QC step will then be included to the general procedure and new netCDF files will be produced and made available as a new version of the present dataset.
\item[Gliders:]for the present version of the data, no QC are performed on this platform.

This new QC step will then be included to the general procedure and new netCDF files will be produced and made available as a new version of the present dataset.
\item[CTD profiles:] the situation is similar to the gliders: new tests have been recently added to the processing chain at SOCIB, hence the AlborEx CTD profiles will have to be reprocessed in order to assign the quality flags to the measurements. These tests are essentially based on the range of measured values depending on each variable and the presence of strong vertical variations spike within a profile.
