FEBRARY 2015
- 2015/02/18 - Problem - BUFR messages are received in Europe from NOAA with header ISS[S/T]01 KWBC for European stations already reporting in both FM13 and BUFR codes. The U.S. messages are resulting from a TAC2BUFR conversion applied to FM13 messages received from European NMS. This creates duplicates in European GTS databanks.
- 2015/02/10 - Announcement - From 1200 UTC on Tuesday 3rd March 2015, Met Office will stop the transmission of FM13 SHIP bulletins on the GTS. Corresponding BUFR data are sent onto the GTS with headers ISS[A-L]01 and ISS[A-L]11 EGRR
- 2015/02/07 - Problem fixed - BUFR messages produced by Meteo-France for drifting buoys (e.g. with GTS header IOBA13 LFPW) for a given observation time have now an extension ('RRA', 'RRB', etc...) when a first message has already been sent.
- 2015/02/02 - Announcement - TAO moored buoy observations should be distributed by NOAA in BUFR from March 2nd. Template TM315008 has been suggested. GTS headers should be IOBF08 and IOBG08 KWNB
- 2015/02/01 - Announcement - CLS would start the distribution of BUFR data according to new templates on the 1st of June. Reminder: DBCP Task Team on Data Management recommended to data producers to use a different GTS header when a new template is applied.
