The ECHO metadata dialect includes two kinds of quality flags: QAStats and QAFlags. We examined sample granule metadata records for ~4100 collections to determine how these flags were currently used. This table shows the number of flags / record in metadata collections from sixteen DAACS. Cells that are shaded red indicate that no occurrences exist. These data indicate that four of the DAACs include a significant number of standard quality flags in their granule metadata.
