0223-0228 Weekly Progress
ECMWF
On 22 and 23 February we received the 309057 BUFR reports from Cotonou (listings attached) - this is good (tres bien).
These were the only BUFR reports - good/OK/bien.
We ask NMSs to keep sending TAC reports for at least two months once the BUFR reports are being sent correctly - this allows time for NWP centers to assess the BUFR reports and switch over to them.

The computer system went back to normal on 22nd February. Only IUSH01 (309057) BUFR data was sent.
