CODE TABLES NECESSARY TO USE THE WORLD OCEAN DATABASE 2009 DATA
Each file name starts with one of the letters, denoting the type of code table followed by the code table number within that type and a brief descriptive name for the code table, except Primary Investigator and Country Code lists.
You may download an ascii (txt) or pdf versions of the tables.
Code Table Key

s - second header code table (meteorological, ocean state, metadata codes)
v - variable specific codes (metadata specific to a measured variable)
b - biological codes (biological metadata: instrumentation, methods etc.)
t - taxa specific codes (metadata and descriptive codes for individual taxa from a tow)
