Hi Roy<br>
<br>
I will check with WMO to find out and get back to you.<br>
<br>

<div>There seems to be some support for my reservations about
using L22 in this way. I'd already thought of using C3 as a
way out of the current difficulties for SeaDataNet. Do you
know of any way to address the C3 entries as a URL? If not I
could consider serving it to provide this capability.</div>

I would steer clear of differentiating probes based on
fall-rate equations. <br>
<br>
XBT biases are a function of the year of manufacture and this
would require duplicate entries for some probes with the
different fall-rate coefficients.

DIV.WordSection1 {
}
</style>The user would then need to know which coefficients applied to a
given instrument.<br>
<br>
One option would be to add a note in the definition section of
L22 to refer to WMO common Code table C3 which lists fall rate
equation coefficients for profile measurement instruments.<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>An issue is arising with a request to add a set
of additional XBT entries to the SeaVoX instrument
vocabulary (L22). In most cases, this includes
two entries for certain physical types of XBT
(e.g. Sippican T5) with the entries differentiated
by the fall-rate equation applied (Sippican or
GOOS). I'm a little uneasy about this as to me it
could be viewed as shoe-horning information that
isn't actually instrument type into the instrument
description. However, I am also aware of
instruments that have multiple designations and
all that's different between the variants is the
firmware.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anybody else have any views on this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers, Roy. </div>
