CODE COUNTS FOR INPUT FILE 'ss09XBTCTD_XB.MA' CODE TABLES FROM DATABASE AS OF: Nov 17 2009 14:06:08 (20091117140608) VALUES FOUND IN CODE TABLES: COUNT FIELD CODE TABLE VALUE DEFINITION -------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- 388 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'CR ' Create record 960 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'CS ' Surface Spike, caused by a minor start-up transient problem that leads to inaccurate temperature measurements in the top few meters of a temperature profile. CSIRO Code (CSCB) 9 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'HB ' Hit Bottom. When the probe hits the bottom, the temperature trace usually goes isothermal. Contact with the bottom is often indicated by a small horizontal spike or undulation. The spike can be due to overheating of the thermistors or physical contact with the bottom. Data recorded beyond the hit bottom event is rejected as erroneous. CSIRO Code (CSCB) 18 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'IP ' This history group operates on the complete input record 25 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'IV ' Inversion. Confirmed increase in temperature with depth observed at some point in the profile. Confirmation is established through the observation of the same feature in a neighbouring (usually a repeat) drop. These features usually occur is specific regions. CSIRO Code (CSCB) 22 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'LE ' Leakage. Appears as apparent structure of "jitter" over a range of depths (or the entire profile) that is considered to be unusual as there is little evidence of similar structure in the region, and or there is no confirmation from a neighbouring profile. This flag can be used if there is some element of doubt whether the XBT system is working correctly, i.e., if there is a suspected signal leakage problem with the recording equipment. Leakage can also be a result of insulation penetration which has not healed leading to continuous leakage, or damage to the launcher cable or recorder. CSIRO Code (CSCB) 13 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'NG ' No good trace 194 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'QC ' Quality Control 191 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'RE ' Repeat Drop. Is defined as an XBT deployed within 15 minutes of another one due to suspected previous probe malfunctions, desire to confirm a suspected real feature, or high density sampling. CSIRO Code (CSCB) 3 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'SP ' Spike. Isolated or intermittent spikes can be the result of external electrical or electromagnetic interference that influences the XBT system"s output. CSIRO Code (CSCB) 15 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'TO ' Temperature/depth offset. The temperature profile exhibits erroneous temperature/depth offsets compared to neighbouring profiles and/or climatology and/or known characteristics of the region. The offsets can occur.at depth, or over sections of the profile, or over the complete profile (The reason could be instrument drift/sensor failure, encoding error, XBT fall rate error, XBT start-of-descent timing error, etc) 167 'Act_Code ' 'ACT ' 'WB ' Wire Break. The XBT wire breaks, a short circuit causes the temperature readings to go off scale either to the low (wire breaks from the spool in the launcher) or to the high (wire breaks from the descending probe"s spool) temperature end of the scale. The main cause of wire breaks can be fouling or if the terminal depth of the probe is reached. Often a wire stretch will precede a wire break.
