BUFR Tables/Mnemonics for the [3D]-RTMA ADPSFC Data

[PraveenKumar-NOAA]

Description

The adpsfc data are in tank b000/. There are a total of thirteen subsets:

NC000000 -- MTYP 000-000 SYNOPTIC-LAND, RESTRICTED (WMO RES 40)
NC000001 -- MTYP 000-001 SYNOPTIC - FIXED LAND
NC000002 -- MTYP 000-002 SYNOPTIC - MOBIL LAND
NC000007 -- MTYP 000-007 AVIATION - METAR / SPECI
NC000008 -- MTYP 000-008 NPN AND MAP PROFILER SURFACE
NC000010 -- MTYP 000-010 PRODUCTS (SHEF) NOT IN ANY OTHER TANK
NC000011 -- MTYP 000-011 AFOS PRODUCTS (PRECIP) (SHEF)
NC000012 -- MTYP 000-012 SUPPLEMENTARY CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA
NC000015 -- MTYP 000-015 SNOW COVER, DEPTH/DENSITY, AND WATER EQUIV
NC000020 -- MTYP 000-020 WIND ENERGY NACELLE, RESTRICTED
NC000100 -- MTYP 000-100 SYNOPTIC - FIXED LAND (BUFR) (WMO RES 40)
NC000101 -- MTYP 000-101 SYNOPTIC - FIXED LAND (BUFR)
NC000102 -- MTYP 000-102 SYNOPTIC - MOBIL LAND (BUFR)

The bufr_dumplist contains following ADPSFC subsets: 000000 000001 000002 000007 000008 000010 000011 000012 000015 000100 000101 000102

The purpose of this issue is to:

• Determine/separate the sequence of mnemonics used by these datasets.
• Determine which mnemonics are read in by the obsproc_prep and GSI codes.
• Compare the two and determine which mnemonics are important.
• Determine important mnemonics for the bufr2ioda conversion.

As Nick Esposito already worked on this datatype for the global network, I will use his BUFR tables as the starting point.

Requirements

• Documentation, which will be provided in the form of a text file.

Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)

• It will be finished once all-important mnemonics are determined and documented.

Dependencies

• There are no dependencies.

The following ADPSFC BUFR tables were extracted for the global data:

NC000000 -- MTYP 000-000 SYNOPTIC-LAND, RESTRICTED (WMO RES 40) NC000001 -- MTYP 000-001 SYNOPTIC - FIXED LAND NC000002 -- MTYP 000-002 SYNOPTIC - MOBIL LAND NC000007 -- MTYP 000-007 AVIATION - METAR / SPECI NC000010 -- MTYP 000-010 PRODUCTS (SHEF) NOT IN ANY OTHER TANK NC000011 -- MTYP 000-011 AFOS PRODUCTS (PRECIP) (SHEF) NC000020 -- MTYP 000-020 WIND ENERGY NACELLE, RESTRICTED NC000100 -- MTYP 000-100 SYNOPTIC - FIXED LAND (BUFR) (WMO RES 40) NC000101 -- MTYP 000-101 SYNOPTIC - FIXED LAND (BUFR) NC000102 -- MTYP 000-102 SYNOPTIC - MOBIL LAND (BUFR)
