OCTOBER 2015 .
- 2015/10/28 - Problem - On the 20th of October, Joubeh switched their BUFR messages for drifting buoys from the old template to template TM315009 (CCCC=CWAO). Due to an error, the new data could not be transmitted. Joubeh plans to come back to the old template on October 28th until the problem is corrected.
- 2015/10/26 - Announcement - Since October 14th, native BUFR messages produced by Meteo-France for ships have been sent onto the GTS with headers ISS[A-L]01 LFPW (template TM308009).
- 2015/10/16 - Status - Meanwhile the migration for drifting buoys is almost complete, this of ship data is far to be. It seems that, due to a lack of IT resources, some producing centres (Australia, Canada, USA...) are waiting for template TM308014 to be validated by WMO before moving to BUFR. For the moment, they still report in FM13 only.
- 2015/10/16 - Announcement - Met Eirann recently annouced they will stop the distribution of TAC data for their moored buoys WMO 62091-62094 on the 10th of November. Observations have been reported in BUFR (template TM315008) for several weeks. GTS header is IOBA21 EIDB. It must be reminded that WMO Ids have 7 digits in BUFR => 6200091-6200094 in the present case.
- 2015/10/16 - Announcement - Since yesterday, Meteo-France is producing BUFR data (template TM315008) for French waveriders. Header are IOB[A/D/E]03 LFPW.
- 2015/10/13 - Problem fixed - WMO Ids are now correct in BUFR data sent by CLS for drifting buoys (CCCC = LFVW or KARS - Template 315009). This means that 95% of the drifting buoys now report through BUFR with the right template. The migration is almost ended for this component. Data users are invited to get these data instead of FM18.
