|
|---|
| 8 | FYI.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Ian well need to consider the equivalent 4-chr codes we employ in ROPP netCDF (like the current
|
|---|
| 11 | C001...C006).
|
|---|
| 12 | We could have simply C007...C018 or more descriptively something like C2E1..C2E6, C2P1...C2P6. In any
|
|---|
| 13 | case, we need
|
|---|
| 14 | to follow whatever coding UCAR use in their own netCDF product files. No urgency, juts one more
|
|---|
| 15 | thing for ROPP-9
|
|---|
| 16 | (should I create a Ticket as a reminder?).
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | FWIW, bufr-20.0.4 now includes these new Code Table entries in advance of MetDB updating their
|
|---|
| 19 | operational tables
|
|---|
| 20 | In the next-version library package (which probably wont come out until 2016)

| 39 | Hi Everyone,
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | Just to close the loop on this, the following is what was approved by the codes team during the
|
|---|
| 42 | December review period:
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | 750 COSMIC-2 E1
|
|---|
| 45 | 751 COSMIC-2 E2
|
|---|
| 46 | 752 COSMIC-2 E3
|
|---|
| 47 | 753 COSMIC-2 E4
|
|---|
| 48 | 754 COSMIC-2 E5
|
|---|
| 49 | 755 COSMIC-2 E6
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | 724 COSMIC-2 P1
|
|---|
| 52 | 725 COSMIC-2 P2
|
|---|
| 53 | 726 COSMIC-2 P3
|
|---|
| 54 | 727 COSMIC-2 P4
|
|---|
| 55 | 728 COSMIC-2 P5
|
|---|
| 56 | 729 COSMIC-2 P6
|
|---|
| 57 | As you can surmise, "E" means equatorial and "P" means polar. These new entries will get
|
|---|
| 58 | published in Common Code Table C-5 in the next table update in early May.

| 72 | Hi Everyone,
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | FYI, I haven't forgotten about this ;-) Since this is idea is somewhat outside-of-the-box, I
|
|---|
| 75 | forwarded it to the CGMS Task
|
|---|
| 76 | Force on Satellite Data back in June to get their take on it before submitting a formal request to
|
|---|
| 77 | the full WMO codes group.
|
|---|
| 78 | However, I never heard back from the CGMS team despite a couple of follow-up reminders, so
|
|---|
| 79 | I'm going to just go ahead and
|
|---|
| 80 | submit it now to the full WMO group since we're now beginning a month-long period of
|
|---|
| 81 | reviewing potential fast-track updates to
|
|---|
| 82 | the manual.
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | If approved, the new entries would become effective in May 2015. I'll keep you posted.

| 90 | Hi Jeff: Easy confusion to have! COSMIC-1 (the constellation) has 6 spacecraft, the second
|
|---|
| 91 | of which is called
|
|---|
| 92 | 'COSMIC-2'. COSMIC-2 (the constellation) consists of two launches, the first set of 6
|
|---|
| 93 | spacecraft to equatorial
|
|---|
| 94 | orbits and the second set of 6 spacecraft to polar orbits.
|
|---|
| 95 |
|
|---|
| 96 | What we need are 12 new BUFR codes for the two 'COSMIC-2' constellations.
|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | So we need something like this in table C-5:
|
|---|
| 99 |
|
|---|
| 100 | # First equatorial launch
|
|---|
| 101 | COSMIC-2a-1 : 750
|
|---|
| 102 | COSMIC-2a-2 : 751
|
|---|
| 103 | COSMIC-2a-3 : 752
|
|---|
| 104 | COSMIC-2a-4 : 753
|
|---|
| 105 | COSMIC-2a-5 : 754
|
|---|
| 106 | COSMIC-2a-6 : 755
|
|---|
| 107 |
|
|---|
| 108 | # Second polar launch
|
|---|
| 109 | COSMIC-2b-1 : 760
|
|---|
| 110 | COSMIC-2b-2 : 761
|
|---|
| 111 | COSMIC-2b-3 : 762
|
|---|
| 112 | COSMIC-2b-4 : 763
|
|---|
| 113 | COSMIC-2b-5 : 764
|
|---|
| 114 | COSMIC-2b-6 : 765
|
|---|
| 115 |
|
|---|
| 116 | If someone has a less awful way to name these satellites, please let me know!

| 128 | Hi Doug,

| 129 |
|

| 130 | Sorry, but I'm confused about what exactly you need here. You say that there don't seem
|
|---|
| 131 | to be any BUFR
|
|---|
| 132 | codes assigned for the
|
|---|
| 133 | COSMIC-2 satellite, but your own graphic shows that there's already an ID #741 for
|
|---|
| 134 | COSMIC-2. Could you
|
|---|
| 135 | please explain in a
|
|---|
| 136 | little more detail exactly what entry(s) you need and in which tables, if something other
|
|---|
| 137 | than Common
|
|---|
| 138 | Code Table C-5?
|

| 155 | Hi Dave, Jeff: Lidia Cucurull of NOAA just brought up the good point that there do not
|
|---|
| 156 | seem to be any
|
|---|
| 157 | BUFR codes assigned for
|
|---|
| 158 | the COSMIC-2 satellites.
|

| 159 |
|

| 160 | In the latest version of the Radio Occultation BUFR format that I'm aware of:

| 162 | WMO FM94 (BUFR) Specification
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 165 | 19 May 2011
|
|---|
| 166 |
|
|---|
| 167 | Table 6 (image attached) shows those IDs currently assigned.
|
|---|
| 168 |
|
|---|
| 169 | Do either of you know of any plans to add IDs for COSMIC-2? There will be 6 IDs
|
|---|
| 170 | needed for the first
|
|---|
| 171 | equatorial launch of C-2
|
|---|
| 172 | in 2016 and (hopefully) 6 more needed for the follow-on polar launch.

| 185 | Has the satellite id code for the BUFR files been identified for C-2? Has the request
