Test value= |V2-(V3+V1)/2| - |(V3-V1)/2|, where V2 is the measurement being tested as a spike, and V1 and V3 are the previous and next. For temperature, the V2 value is flagged as wrong when the test value exceeds 6.0 degree Celsius. For salinity, the V2 value is flagged as wrong when the test value exceeds 0.9 PSU.

attribute	flag_j	comment	String	The test is failed when the difference between adjacent measurements is too steep. Test value = |V2-(V3+V1)/2|, where V2 is the measurement being tested as a spike, and V1 and V3 are the previous and next values. For water temperature, the V2 value is flagged as wrong when the test value exceeds 9.0 degree Celsius. For salinity, the V2 value is flagged as wrong when the test value exceeds 1.5.
