The code is a synthesis of standard World Meteorological Organization synoptic codes, codes used by the COADS project, and new codes created by WOCEMET. Definitions for all codes used in the data and metadata are provided in tabular format for each possible meteorological variable. An example of the ASCII file format is also provided.


NetCDF Code Manual

The NetCDF Code Manual outlines the codes and contents of WOCEMET quality controlled surface meteorology data sets released in NetCDF format to the scientific community. The code is a synthesis of standard World Meteorological Organization synoptic codes, codes used by the COADS project, and new codes created by WOCEMET.
