Methodology for obtaining data This value is required.

Zero or negative values are not allowed for concentration values.

Exceptions: zero values are allowed for Dissolved oxygen and HCO3

A minimum value of -3 is allowed for seawater temperature only.

If the measured concentration is below the limit of quantification (LOQ), then leave the "resultObservedValue" field empty, and report 'True' (or '1') in the Boolean "resultQualityObservedValueBelowLOQ" field. The reporting of values <=LOQ in the "resultObservedValue" field (for technical reasons) is also accepted, but the values will not be used. It is also essential that the "procedureLOQValue" field is filled.
