| Optical (e.g. backscattering, chlorophyll fluorescence, beam-attenuation), physical (temperature, depth, salinity) and biogeochemical properties (e.g. POC, TSM, Size distributions, chlorophyll) in the ocean are not independent from each other. Hence, looking at multiple properties as well as their change in times provide for opportunities to QA/QC of data as well as to assess if anomalous conditions are occurring in the data we are investigating (which, if all sensors are working, can provide for new scientific insights). In this talk, I will provide several examples of such inter-comparisons and their utility to assess data quality as well as constrain observed processes. Example from ocean buoy time-series, data obtained with in-line systems and BGC-Argo profiling-floats will be used to illustrate the procedures associated with performing closure.
