APRIL 2016   .

  • 2016/04/2526  - Announcement Problem fixed - Since today, all BUFR bulletins generated by CLS America (IOBX06 KARS most especially) contain a single message. The migration to BUFR (with template 315009) for drifting buoys should be considered as being complete. Only 4 buoys managed by JMA still report their data according to the never validated WMO template. 
  • 2016/04/25 - Announcement - Since today, SIO has been producing BUFR messages for drifting buoys with template TM315009. About 100 buoys are concerned. SIO has been producing BUFR messages for drifting buoys with template TM315009. About 100 buoys are concerned. GTS header is IOBX02 KWBC. The transmission of data with the never-validated template (under header IOBX01 KWBC will stop soon. After this event, only JMA still transmits drifting buoy data through the never-validated WMO template but 4 buoys are only concerned. 
  • 2016/04/13  - Problem fixed - Since today, the [wrong] segmentation of BUFR messages has been removed at CLS. They may now be extended up to 500 kbytes. Bulletins IOBX06 KARS were mostly concerned. In parallel, the first digit of Antarctic buoy WMO Ids has been forced to '7'. In the never-validated WMO template, this BUFR element (WMO region area - 0 01 003) could not be '7'. So, it was '0'. In BUFR template TM315009, the WMO Id is reported through a single 7-digit element.(0 01 087).
  • 2016/04/08 - Problem -  In ship BUFR messages, Metoffice increments the so called "update sequence number" for delayed data (those of which the header is fitted with RRA, RRB...) This is not correct. Concerned bulletins are ISSA[A-L][01/11/16] EGRR.Bulletins generated by CLS America under header IOBX06 KARS contain two messages: one for platforms wrongly declared as being in subcategory 0 (ships), the other one for platforms declared as being in category 25 (data buoys). According to WMO code manual, a BUFR bulletin should have a single message.    
  • 2016/04/06 - Announcement - Meteo-France and CLS agree to postpone the end of the distribution of FM18 BUOY data to the 1st of September. This concerns those sent under headers with CCCC equal to LFPW, LFVW or KARS.
  • 2016/04/01 - Problem - In ship BUFR messages, Metoffice increments the so called "update sequence number" for delayed data (those of which the header is fitted with RRA, RRB... This is not correct. Concerned bulletins are ISSA[A-L][01/11/16] EGRR.
