The "i", or interpolated, data files were used to generate the information in the TOGA COARE sounding archive. Quality control constraints are applied in the creation of these files and they are considered the final product. If data are flagged as bad in the ten second data file, they are not used in the generation of this file (see written documentation).

Be aware that, in the processing used to generate the "interpolated" ("i") data file, data gaps are filled by interpolation. If the gap is too long, the data are flagged with the BAD data flag 99.0 and were ignored when generating the skew-t images and analysis files.
