     663  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'CR        '  Create record
     760  '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)
     221  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'DC        '  Station was checked by duplicate checking software
      51  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'DU        '  Duplicate Drop, CSIRO Code (CSCB)
       2  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'EF        '  Eddy / Front / Current. Eddies, oceanic fronts and currents are common meso scale features in the oceans. An eddy, front or current appears as an increase/decrease in temperature over large depth ranges when compared to a neighbouring profile. A temperature displacement can sometimes be seen in alternating or sequential drops as the ship track crosses a current, eddy system or frontal region. Confirmation of the feature is established if neighbouring (usually repeat) profile pairs each side of the front show similar temperatures at depth. Temperature sections along the ship track can be used as further evidence these features are real. CSIRO Code (CSCB)
       2  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'FS        '  Fine structure error: leakage, PET fault, cusping, sticking bit. The temperature profile exhibits erroneous fine structure when compared to neighbouring profiles and/or climatology and/or known characteristics of the region. (The reasons could be signal leakage, XBT recording system failures (sticking bit, cusping, PET Fault, etc), complete instrument failure, etc)
       4  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'HF        '  High Frequency Interference. As for spikes, high frequency interference is caused by electrical, or electromagnetic, interference, but results in continual spiking over a wide range of depths. Interference may sometimes appear severe but the temperature records underneath can often be successfully interpolated by filtering. CSIRO Code (CSCB)
      43  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'IP        '  This history group operates on the complete input record
      77  '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)
      25  '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)
     202  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'PE        '  Position error. Profile position has been erroneously encoded. Corrected if possible.
      17  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'PI        '  Inversion Probable. A probable inversion is defined as an increase in temperature with depth observed at some point in the profile, but which is not fully confirmed by a repeat or neighbouring drop. The feature is considered to be probably real as inversions are known to occur in the region or similar features are found in neighbouring drops. CSIRO Code (CSCB)
     159  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'QC        '  Quality Control
      40  '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)
       2  '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)
      12  '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)
      14  'Act_Code    ' 'ACT       ' 'TP        '  Test Probe, and devices are frequently used for testing or calibrating XBT systems. CSIRO Code (CSCB)
     153  '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. CSIRO Code (CSCB)
