The UK has deployed what I think is the first Deep Apex float equipped with an RBR sensors, see:
https://www.ocean-ops.org/board/wa/Platform?ref=6903755

As a result none of the existing WMO instrument type codes are appropriate:

• 877 is for an APEX with RBR CTD
• 849 is for an APEX-D (Deep) with SBE CTD

Could a new code be created for APEX-D with an RBR CTD?

Create new entries in NVS collection R08 for code numbers 875, 876, 877, 878, 879 and 880 as reflected in the reference table 8 (instrument types) updates from December 2020.

QNLM and China Argo Data Center is deploying new type of deep floats with SBE61.

Could a new code be created for HM4000 with an SBE61 and "Xuanwu" with a SBE61?

I cannot see a Navis EBR float. Navis A (instrument 863) floats have a different configuration of their buoyancy system than Navis EBR . Since that conversion happened in 2015, I am concerned I am somehow missing an entry in the table.

Here are the new entries for the following BGC floats:

• 884 - "SOLO_BGC, SBE"
• 885 - " SOLO_BGC, RBR"
• 886 - "SOLO_BGC_MRV, SBE"
• 887 - "SOLO_BGC_MRV, RBR"
• 888 - "PROVOR_V - Jumbo, SBE"
• 889 - "PROVOR_V - Jumbo, RBR"
• 890 - "PROVOR_III - Jumbo, SBE"
• 891 - "PROVOR_III - Jumbo, RBR"
