The table here above shows the number of fixed marine stations having a WMO ID made of digits only... for which the observations were received by Meteo-France on the 6th of August. Figures are shared by the WMO code which was used: either FM13 SHIP, FM18 BUOY, FM94 BUFR with templates TM308009, 315008, 315009 or the never validated template for data buoys. Fixed platforms are excluded from column "Total buoys". This table does not refer to the number of observations which were received. Even for a same number of stations reporting their data through two different codecodes, the number of observations may differ (e.g. in the case of non-synoptic observations sent in BUFR but no longer in FM13... or vice versa).
