For this <L0 Raw MBES Data Specification> the following Data Quality Elements will be assessed[1]:
Conformance to this Product Specification
Intended purpose of the data product
Completeness of the data product in terms of coverage
Logical Consistency
Positional Uncertainty and Accuracy
Thematic Accuracy
Temporal Quality
Aggregation measures
Validation checks or conformance checks including:
General tests for dataset integrity;
Specific tests for a specific data model.
...
At minimum, the Bathymetry Available and Backscatter Available checks need to pass even if any other checks fail or have warnings. We also expect to see the presence of other ancillary data in qajson file that QAX is able to detect such as true heave/navigation and svp files in the data level which is ready and readable for bathymetry processing.
