法国的Coriolis方案是法国海洋学业务系统的一部分，每年产生用于再分析的Coriolis数据集。该数据集包含来自不同数据类型的现场温度和盐度剖面。最新发布的CORA 3涵盖1990年至2010年。已经进行了几项测试，以确保数据集的均匀质量控制，并满足物理海洋再分析活动的要求（同化和验证）。改进的测试包括一些基于与气候学比较的简单测试和基于全球海洋再分析的模型背景检查。对测试确定的所有可疑温度和盐度剖面进行视觉质量控制，必要时修改数据集中的质量标志。此外，还开发了改进的诊断工具，包括全球海洋指标，这些工具提供了关于CORA 3数据集质量及其潜在应用的信息。CORA 3可向MyOcean服务台（http：//www.myocean.eu/）索取。
The French program Coriolis, as part of the French operational oceanographic system, produces the COriolis dataset for Re-Analysis (CORA) on a yearly basis. This dataset contains in-situ temperature and salinity profiles from different data types. The latest release CORA3 covers the period 1990 to 2010. Several tests have been developed to ensure a homogeneous quality control of the dataset and to meet the requirements of the physical ocean reanalysis activities (assimilation and validation). Improved tests include some simple tests based on comparison with climatology and a model background check based on a global ocean reanalysis. Visual quality control is performed on all suspicious temperature and salinity profiles identified by the tests, and quality flags are modified in the dataset if necessary. In addition, improved diagnostic tools have been developed - including global ocean indicators - which give information on the quality of the CORA3 dataset and its potential applications. CORA3 is available on request through the MyOcean Service Desk (http://www.myocean.eu/).
