| 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 |

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. |
