BUFR
The World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) code form FM 94 BUFR
(Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data)
is a binary code designed to represent, employing a continuous binary
stream, any meteorological data. There is, however, nothing uniquely
meteorological about BUFR. The meteorological emphasis is the result
of the origin of the code. The code form may be applied to any numerical
or qualitative data type.
BUFR formatted hourly profiler data are sent to the
National Weather Service Telecommunications Gateway (NWSTG) and to the
WMO's Global Telecommunications System
(GTS)
RAOB (text Dump)
Radiosonde Observation (RAOB) formatted text is similar to the format used by
the National Severe Storms Forecast Center (NSSFC) in Kansas City. NPN and CAP
data can be downloaded from our NPN/CAP Data Displays.
404 MHz profiler systems require a
SARSAT
Inhibit Schedule to operate. The PCC, working with the SARSAT Program Office, generate
and provide SARSAT turn-off schedules for all NPN sites as well as several non-NPN
404 MHz radars. The SARSAT Download Page provides the means for users to download
SARSAT schedules via FTP.
NPN radars have sets of parameters that must be properly configured for the radar to
function properly. Some of the parameters change periodically. This page allows users
to download the current parameter set for a specific profiler site.
The Profiler Maintenance Terminal (PMT) is a DOS based program that allows on-site
technicians to interact, interrogate, and configure the profiler system.
The Monitor Display Station (MDS) is a 16-bit Windows application that captures the
RS-232 serial data form the profiler and enables technicians to view the data in a
graphical format while at the profiler site.
The Guide to LRU Replacement provides comprehensive procedures for the replacement
and calibration of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) at NPN sites. Due to the
proprietary material contained in these documents, your domain must be *.gov to
download these files.
