Abstract
WMO maintains a catalogue of ships participating in the global Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) Scheme. The catalogue is produced from the national VOS lists submitted by WMO Members. The catalogue, which contains a comprehensive range of ship’s metadata, was originally available as a WMO publication, WMO-No. 47 (commonly referred to as Pub 47). Due to increasing printing and distribution costs, the publication was suspended in the late 1990s. An electronic version of the catalogue became available on the WMO website < http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/ois/pub47/pub47-home.htm > during 2003. Despite the changed method of distribution, the electronic file retains the name of the original publication. Because of changing demands for ship’s metadata, the Ship Observations Team (SOT) formed a Task Team at SOT-II (July 2003, London, UK) to revise the metadata requirements of WMO-No. 47. The proposed changes were subsequently approved at JCOMM-II (September 2006, Halifax, Canada). This document describes the field descriptions, presentation layout and file exchange formats for WMO-No. 47, Metadata Format Version 04, approved at JCOMM-II. These changes come into effect on 1 June 2013. Summary of changes in this version 1. Type of meteorological reporting ships vsslM (Code Table 2202): a. Add new code 80 for manually reporting third party support ship. b. Add new code 85 for AWS-equipped third party support ship. 2. Exposure of the hygrometer hgrE, exposure of the dry-bulb thermometer thmE (Code Table 0801) a. Add new code HH for hand held digital thermometer/humidity sensor. b. Add new code RS for radiation shield (e.g. cylindrical / Gill multi-plate radiation shield). 3. Recruiting country rcnty, country of registration reg (Code Table 1801) a. Add new code ZZ for third party support ships. 4. Change in the location referenced in the XML Schema namespace variable.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
