Separating Sensor-like Anomalies from Regional Oceanographic Events: A Machine-Learning-Assisted, Physics-Guided, Event-Preserving Quality-Control Framework for Coastal Buoy Temperature Records
Coastal upwelling and typhoon-driven mixing can cool a buoy record by several degrees within hours. Sensor faults do the same. Quality-control schemes that flag anomalies by residual magnitude alone therefore risk discarding real events. We analysed 30 min temperature records from six buoys and three depths off the eas...
