  • Is it mandatory for all BUFR files to be bundled before they are put on the GTS? (ECCC, preference, by individual files, not bundled)

 

 

  • The surface hourly files will be bundled

  • Soon afterwards marine hourly TDCF will be uploaded via GTS.

    • These are about 45 moored buoy platforms, do these needs to be bundled or one individual BUFR file per each obs?

 

 

  • Any new stations?

  • 71042

  • 71568

  • 71533

  • 71654

  • 71855

 

  • Are these new stations registered in OSCAR?

 

 

  • BUFR template which is used

  • TM307091
