Table 1.a List of valid BUFR data types (last
revised 5/18/2013).
Key for INDICATOR ("IND.") column:
A - data
type is in BUFR /dcom database and is
available for dumping (in boldface)
A - data type is
temporarily not available for dumping (in italics)
F - future
data type, currently not available for dumping (also in italics)
O - data
type obsolete, not available for dumping (also in italics)
P - data type is in /pcom database
U - data type is in BUFR /dcom database
but currently cannot be dumped
Key for RESTRICTED ("RESTR.") column:
YES - some or all reports in this BUFR
subtype are restricted
with respect to redistribution outside of NCEP for some amount of
time
NO - no data types in this BUFR subtype
are restricted, all are fully available for redistribution outside
of NCEP

Table 1.b Data group mnemonics used to generate BUFR
dump files in the various NCEP networks. These dump files are
then read by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps (last revised
7/18/2012).
Key for NETWORK ("NET") column
- if BOLDFACE AND
UPPER-CASE
indicates the dump file
for this group is read in by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps
(although not all of the data may be selected for encoding into
PREPBUFR):
A/a - group is dumped in Air Quality
Monitoring (AQM) network
C/c - group is dumped in CDAS network
F/f
- group is dumped in GDAS (Final) network
G/g
- group is dumped in GFS (MRF) network
H/h
- group is dumped in HOURLY network
M/m -
group is dumped in RTMA network
N/n
- group is dumped in NAM and NDAS networks
o - group
is
obsolete and is not dumped in any network (also in italics)
R/r -
group is dumped in RAP network
t - group
consists of future data types and is currently not dumped in any
network (also in italics)
Key for superscripts in "NET"
column:
1 -
input to QuikSCAT reprocessing program WAVE_DCODQUIKSCAT which outputs
superobed data (on a 0.5 degree lat/lon grid) in a file called
“qkswnd”
which is read by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps if network is
boldface
2 -
input to SSM/I reprocessing program PREPOBS_PREPSSMI which outputs
superobed data (on a 1 degree lat/lon grid) in a file called "spssmi"
which is read by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps if network is
boldface
[in the GFS and GDAS
networks, the superobed FNMOC rainfall rate product in
“spssmi” is
currently also read by the Global GSI analysis (the analysis does not
read these data from the PREPBUFR file even though they are written
there)]
3 -
input to SSM/I reprocessing program PREPOBS_PREPSSMI which outputs
non-superobed data in a file called "spssmi" which is read by the
subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps if network is boldface
4
- cloud data nudged each hour into model component of NDAS (no
longer done)
5 - input to WindSat reprocessing
program BUFR_DCODWINDSAT which outputs
superobed data (on a 1 degree lat/lon grid) in a file called
“wdsatr”
which is read by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps if network is
boldface
6 - input to WindSat reprocessing
program BUFR_DCODWINDSAT which outputs data (not superobed) in a
file called
“wdsatr”
which is read by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps if network is
boldface
7 -
input to ASCAT reprocessing program WAVE_DCODQUIKSCAT which
outputs data (not superobed) in a file called “ascatw”
which is read by the subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps if network is
boldface
8 - even
though this dump file is read by the PREPBUFR processing steps in
this network, the subsequent analysis code reads the same dump
file directly (ignoring the data encoded in the PREPBUFR file
from this dump file)
Key for superscripts in
"MNEMONICS INCLUDED" column:
1 -
not included in RAP network dumps
2 -
not included in CDAS network dumps
3 -
not included in NAM or NDAS network dumps
4 -
not included in 03, 09, 15, 21Z NDAS network dumps
5 -
not included in GFS or GDAS network dumps
6 - not included in HOURLY network dumps
7 - included in NAM and NDAS network dumps but not
read by subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps in these networks
8 - included in CDAS network dump but
not read by subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps in this network
9 - if "acars" contains more reports than "acarsa"
(normally the case) then only "acars" is read by subsequent PREPBUFR
processing steps in all indicated networks
10 - if
"acarsa" contains more
reports than "acars" (normally not the case) then only "acarsa" is read
by
subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps in all indicated networks
11 -
not included in RTMA network dumps
12 - Not read by subsequent PREPBUFR processing steps in
any network

Table 1.c Data group
mnemonics used to generate BUFR
dump
files in the various NCEP networks. These dump files are then
read
by the subsequent analysis codes (with the exception of "satwnd", they
do not pass through the PREPBUFR
processing steps) (last revised 7/18/2012).
Key for NETWORK ("NET") column -
if BOLDFACE AND UPPER-CASE indicates
the dump file for this group is read in by the
subsequent
analysis
codes and at least some data in the dump file is actually assimilated
(not just monitored) by the analysis; if italics indicates
the dump file for this group is normally dumped in this network but is
temporarily not available (in this case may also be in italics in either "GROUP MENMONIC"
or "MNEMONICS INCLUDED" columns or both):
C/c -
group is
dumped in CDAS network
F/f -
group is
dumped in GDAS (Final) network
G/g -
group is
dumped in GFS (MRF) network
N/n -
group is
dumped in NAM and NDAS networks
o - group
is
obsolete and is not dumped in any network (also in italics)
R/r -
group is dumped in RAP network
S/s -
group is
dumped in surface RUC network
t
- group
consists
of future data types and is currently not dumped in any network (also
in
italics)
Key for superscripts in "NET" column:
1 - input to
TRMM TMI reprocessing program BUFR_SUPERTMI which outputs superobed
data
(on a 1 degree lat/lon grid) in a file called "sptrmm” which is
read by
the subsequent analysis codes if network is boldface
Key for superscripts in "MNEMONICS INCLUDED" column:
1 - only included if reports are within the
selected dump time window
2 -
not included in RAP network dumps
