under weather discipline. With one topic "SHIP"? TEMP SHIP == TEMP PILOT SHIP == wind profiler?
I | S | C | 46-59 | Climatic observations from marine stations | 1 | 20 | CLIMAT SHIP |

I | S | S | 01-19 | Synoptic observations from marine stations | 1 | 0 | SHIP |

I am not a data expert so I am not sure what is the difference between IUA and IUO AMDAR, but I have learned that when it comes to upperair soundings, the differentiation between "entire sounding" and "up to 100 hPa" is largely unnecessary. Typically a balloon is lunched twice (few times) per day, the size of the resulting observation is in order of 10kB so sending it to two different topics would be useless - same as was assigning different TTAA heading part for it.
One question, should we be perpetuating the keywords from the old alphanumeric codes such as SHIP, TEMP, SYNOP, BUOY?
Data from some of the moored buoys is more similar to the data from the ships in terms of parameters reported.
Note: as part of ocean data publication activities (with Scripps), we are experimenting with .../weather/experimental/surface-based-observations/buoy
.
closing because these are addressed in issue #147
