Hi @vturpin, thanks for this. I'm working on updating the description for R08, and add a link to the original WMO table as you suggest.
As I found three lists of the same WMO table, I just wanted to confirm that the one you linked above is the one we want to include in the description:
I'm asking because I assume there is no controlled vocabulary for the whole WMO CCT C-3 table, and the PDF may be the least interoperable amongst those three. But if that's where the original list is kept then happy to include the link to it.
R08 is based on WMO "Common Code Tables C-3 (CCT C-3): Instrument make and type for water temperature profile measurement with fall rate equation coefficients" ; The official code table is available here: https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=11283
These tables up to date are pretty hard to find online. I would like here to keep track on this information and suggest to add it somewhere in the R08 description.
Also I think it is usefull to have an idea of the procedure to add a concept in the CCT C-3: To suggest an addition to the CCT C-3, follow this exemple: https://github.com/wmo-im/CCT/issues/110 to submit an issue. When an addition is accepted, the issue on github is closed. Then the PR is made within a couple of month to update this table: https://github.com/wmo-im/CCT/blob/master/C03.csv Then it can take a year to update the document; https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=11283
Note that R08 can be updated while we are still waiting for WMO CCT C-3 validation.
