finding entries in WMO code tables

[marqh]

finding different ways to search

scientific domain experts: operational meteorologist (in charge of a particular kind of data collection)

lets say they are interested in http://test.wmocodes.info/bufr4/b/21 weather radar but they don't know where the WMO keep this

in particular let us consider peakiness http://test.wmocodes.info/bufr4/b/21/071 http://test.wmocodes.info/bufr4/b/21/093 http://test.wmocodes.info/bufr4/b/21/094 http://test.wmocodes.info/bufr4/b/21/182

lets just search

http://test.wmocodes.info/ui/text-search?query=peakiness

[marqh]

how may i narrow my search to the scenario i am interested in

[marqh]

• 'search' for table b
  • why would i do this? explain
  • http://test.wmocodes.info/ui/text-search?query=table+b
• find BUFR4 table B in the list and select
• this takes us to:
  • http://test.wmocodes.info/bufr4/_b
• use the contextual search in the middle of the page to search for radar and select the link
• now contextual search for peakiness
  • get four hits

[marqh]

consider velocity, as this has a wider path at the start so it's more useful to show context search

[marqh]

consider adding a link to the 'narrowing your search' page to the search results template
