The collectives are in the same format as exchanged on the GTS and Family of Services. The internal format of the files is described in the document OSO File Name Standards. The naming conventions for the files are described in the document File and Directory Name Standards. The data is directly available at the server tgftp.nws.noaa.gov via anonymous FTP. Information AvailableThe following code forms are available on the server. The set of
data available includes all of the data types listed here that are received at the
NWS Telecommunication Gateway. However, these files do not include additional
data as defined by WMO Resolution 40.
