-   The Jamaica release of DART also implements a DART QC flag that provides
-   information about how the observation was or was not assimilated.
    The DART QC flag is intended to provide information about whether the
    observation was assimilated, evaluated only, whether the assimilation resulted
    in a 'good' observation, etc. Here is the table that should explain things:
