Code List
- Parameter codes
- Codes used to represent measured and instrument variables and their units.
- Activity codes
- These record the actions taken against a unit of data.
- ARGO reference table 5
- An ARGO reference code table.
- Availability codes
- These indicate how widely or readily the data may be distributed
- Country codes
- A list of 2-character country codes used in specifying the origin of received data.
- Data type codes
- A list of 2-character codes to describe the instrumentation origins of the data.
- Datum codes
- Used in the tides and water level data system to describe the datums for the measurements.
- Digit codes
- A code that describes the method by which original data are transformed into digital values.
- Drogue codes
- Used in handling drifting buoy data to describe the type of drogue.
- Institutes codes
- These describe the codes used for various Institutes.
- Instrument type codes
- A more precise code (than data_type) to describe the instrument used in the collection of the data
- Measurement techniques codes
- Currently used within our tide and water level processing to indicate the type of gauging used.
- Process codes
- These are used in the data systems to provide a tracking of the software through which data have passed. In the ocean system these are also called PRC_CODES.
- Region codes
- They are the Canadian provinces or of the foreign areas where we have data on the levels of water.
- QValue codes
- These are the quality flags used to describe the validity of a measurement.
- Reference temperature codes
- These describe how surface reference temperatures have been collected.
- Sampling techniques codes
- These describe the sampling technique for collecting measurements.
- ICES Ship Reference Codes (External site)
- Ship Reference Codes Vocabulary from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)
- Source id codes
- These indicate the source of the data.
- Standard codes
- These describe the accuracy to which measurements have been made.
- Stream identification codes
- These are shorter forms of the Source_ID codes used in processing real-time data.
- Stream source codes
- These are used to indicate the originating data stream when data from different processing streams are combined.
- U Flag code
- This is used to indicate the action to be performed by archive update software
