The parameters and metadata captured at each level contain time displacement, latitude displacement, longitude displacement, geopotential height, pressure, temperature, dew point temperature, wind speed, wind direction, level significance (flags). Many reports are at 2-second resolution ~3500 levels for a full ascent, some are at 1-second resolution: ~7000 levels (but we have seen up to 14500 levels). Few observations in this data set are at low resolution (standard+significant levels). That data are from Oct 2, 2014 - present, updated monthly. In 2003, the WMO members approved a migration from traditional alphanumeric codes (TAC)to table driven code forms (TDCF) BUFR for data distribution on the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). The TDCF BUFR, also known as just BUFR, is a binary data format maintained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Compared with the traditional alphanumeric codes (TAC), the BUFR offers great advantages of flexibility and expandability, allowing for the dissemination of much higher vertical resolution with the reporting of the time and position at each level and extra metadata. The Commission agreed on the deadline of November 2014 to stop the parallel distribution of TAC and BUFR data. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has maintained an archive of global radiosonde BUFR data since October of 2014, which will complement NCEI's real-time archiving of National Weather Service (NWS) BUFR stream commencing in May of 2017. Will maintain a full coverage of high-resolution radiosonde data set and use the data for the Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA) developed at NCEI. onGoing NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact monthly https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/noaa_logo.jpg NOAA Data JPEG Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature > Dew Point Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature > Dew Point Temperature > Dew Point Depression Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Geopotential Height theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
