Comparing MEDs data with Jim Cumming's Argo data

Time profiles for 2010

Possible juld_qc values for 2010

meds_juld_qc	-999 (12,564), 11 (75,087), 13 (372), 14 (1,257), 33 (1) and 41 (4)
meds_jim_juld_qc	-999 (12,776), 1 (76,824) and 3 (6)

The brackets values is how many - although the database wasn't complete, so these values will be too small.
