The station identification (SID) is constructed as follows:
    Note 1: All report identifiers are left justified with blank trailing characters if less than eight characters are used.
    Note 2: All alphabetic characters are upper-case unless otherwise noted.
   - For fixed land rawinsonde or PIBAL reports in Table A entry ADPUPA; fixed surface land synoptic reports in Table A entry ADPSFC; wind profiler reports from the U.S. NOAA Profiler Network (NPN), or wind profiler reports from Japan, or wind profiler reports originating from PIBAL bulletins in Table A entry PROFLR; or RASS reports from the U.S. NOAA Profiler Network in Table A entry RASSDA:  A five numeric character ID, where characters one and two contain the WMO block number and characters three through five contain the WMO station number.
   - For mobile land rawinsonde or ship rawinsonde reports in Table A entry ADPUPA:  An alphanumeric character ID, ranging from four to eight characters, constructed from the station ID group in the raw bulletin.
   - For dropwinsonde or aircraft reconnaissance reports in Table A entry ADPUPA or splash-level dropwinsonde reports in Table A entry SFCSHP:
         -- For reports with WMO bulletin location identifier KNHC (Miami), KWBC (Washington) or KBIX (Biloxi) with valid aircraft flight identifier and observation number in WMO bulletin: a six character ID, where alphanumeric characters one through three contain the last three characters in the aircraft flight identifier, numeric characters four and five contain the observation number and character six is A.  Specifically:
             Reports from aircraft identifier NOAA2 [Lockheed Orion WP-3D (P-3) turboprop with registration number N42RF]: AA2xxA,where xx=observation number.
             Reports from aircraft identifier NOAA3 [Lockheed Orion WP-3D (P-3) turboprop with registration number N43RF]: AA3xxA,where xx=observation number.
             Reports from aircraft identifier NOAA9 [Gulfstream G-IV jet with registration number N49RF]: AA9xxA,where xx=observation number.
             Reports from aircraft identifier NA872 [Global Hawk jet with registration number NASA872}: 872xxA,where xx=observation number.
             Reports from aircraft identifier N677F [Gulfstream G-V jet with registration number N677F}: 77FxxA,where xx=observation number.
             Reports from U.S. Air Force Aircraft: nnnxxA, where nnn=last 3 digits of aircraft's registration number and xx=observation number.
         -- For dropwinsonde reports with WMO bulletin location identifier EGRR (Exeter, UK) with valid aircraft flight identifier and observation number in WMO bulletin: an eight character ID, where alphanumeric characters one through three contain the last three characters in the aircraft flight identifier, numeric characters four and five contain the observation number, and characters six through eight are AUK.  Note this does not apply to aircraft reconnaissance reports.
         -- For dropwinsonde reports with WMO bulletin location identifier LFPW (Toulouse, FR) with valid aircraft flight identifier and observation number in WMO bulletin: an eight character ID, where alphanumeric characters one through three contain the last three characters in the aircraft flight identifier, numeric characters four and five contain the observation number, and characters six through eight are AFR.  Note this does not apply to aircraft reconnaissance reports.
         -- For all other reports, the default: DRP99A.
    - For ARINC MCDRS-ACARS aircraft reports in Table A entry AIRCAR, or AMDAR aircraft reports in Table A entry AIRCFT: An alphanumeric ID, ranging from one to eight characters, constructed from the aircraft registration (tail) number (MDCRS-ACARS and AMDAR tail numbers are encrypted).  MCDRS-ACARS aircraft flight numbers are stored in mnemonic ACID.
          -  MDCRS include U.S. data from American, Continental, Delta, FedEx, Northwest, Southwest, United and UPS airlines, as well as international data from Aeroméxico and mixed U.S. and international data from ADS-C.
          - For AMDAR reports, the prefix characters in the ID identify the area the aircraft is from: AFZ is South Africa; AG is Argentina; AU is Australia; AXM is Air Asia; CNC, CNF and CNG are China; CNJCA, CNNCA and CNNDA are Canada; EU is Europe; HK is Hong Kong; HL is Korea; JP is Japan; MDX is Malaysia; NZL is New Zealand; and SL is South America-Chile (LATAM). The following are present but unknown: AEA, AFR, ARG, AZA, BAW, DLH, IBE, KLM, LAN, QTR, SWR, TAM, TAP, and UAE. (Many of these unknowns likely come from improperly formatted ADS-C reports that are distributed through the "KAWN" originator. It is quite possible these reports are duplicate to those available in the "IUAX92 KARP" bulletins. The SDMEDT rejection list contains the "KAWN" bulletin headers from which these reports are issued. The AXM and MDX prefixes represent flight IDs only, and their associated reports may be similarly malformed.) The following are legacy ID's: B- was China, MK was Air Mauritius, SG was Singapore, and VA was Vanuatu.
    - For AIREP aircraft reports in Table A entry AIRCFT, or AFWA MCDRS-ACARS aircraft reports in Table A entry AIRCAR: An alphanumeric ID, ranging from one to eight characters, constructed from the aircraft flight number.
    - For TAMDAR aircraft in Table A entry AIRCFT: An eight character manufactured ID, where characters one through four are numeric and always zeroes (0000) and characters five through eight are numeric.  This form of the id is also stored in mnemonic ACID (although it is not the aircraft flight number).
    - For PIREP aircraft reports in Table A entry AIRCFT: A six character manufactured ID, where character one is P, numeric characters two through five are a unique index count and character six is P.
    - For satellite wind reports in Table A entry SATWND: The report ID is constructed in the data dumping process (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section II on NESDIS Satellite Wind Data, Section V on EUMETSAT Satellite Wind Data,  Section VI on Japanese Satellite Wind Data, Section VII on Indian Satellite Wind Data or Section XIII on NASA/MODIS Satellite Wind Data)
    - For Multi-Agency wind profiler and acoustic sounder (SODAR) reports in Table A entry PROFLR, or Multi-Agency RASS reports in Table A entry RASSDA: A five character alphabetic ID associated with the report in the incoming LDM feed from NOAA/NCEP/NCO-MADIS.  These usually consist of a 3 character id followed by a 2 character state code.  It is believed that only SODARs can have a 2 in character 3, however it is possible that some SODARs do not have a 2 in character 3.
    - For NEXRAD Vertical Azimuth Display (VAD) wind reports in Table A entry VADWND:  For reports obtained from Radar Coded message: A seven character ID, where numeric characters one through four contain the product source identifier and alphabetic characters five through seven contain the radar coded message identifier.  Both the product source identifier and the radar coded message identifier are found in the raw bulletin.  For reports obtained from the WSR-88D NEXRAD Level 2 decoder,  a four character ID  representing the call-sign of the radar site.
    - For NESDIS polar-orbiting satellite retrieval, sounding and radiance reports in Table A entry SATEMP: The report ID is constructed in the PREPBUFR processing (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section I on NESDIS POES Retrieval/Sounding/Radiance Data).

    - For mobile surface land synoptic reports in Table A entry ADPSFC:  An alphanumeric character ID, ranging from five to eight characters, constructed from the station ID group in the raw bulletin (prior to 7/12/2011 truncated to five characters).
    - For surface mesonet reports in Table A entry MSONET: Three to five alphanumeric characters.  In addition,  character eight is set to either: " " (blank) if the reported station pressure is non-missing (best quality); "a" if the reported station pressure is missing and the reported altimeter setting is non-missing, meaning the station pressure is generated from the altimeter setting and the reported elevation (next best quality); or "x" if the reported station pressure and reported altimeter setting are both missing, meaning the station pressure is generated via the U.S. Standard Atmosphere sea-level pressure (1013.25 mb) and the reported temperature and elevation (least best quality).  (Note: sea-level pressure is always missing in the mesonet reports.)
    - For surface marine ship reports in Table A entry SFCSHP: An alphanumeric character ID, ranging from four to eight characters, constructed from the ship call sign.  Reports with missing ship call sign get report id and ship call sign set to SHIP.   Restricted ship reports have their report id masked (set to MASKSTID) in non-restricted PREPBUFR files.
    - For surface marine drifting buoy or surface marine fixed (moored) buoy reports in Table A entry SFCSHP: A five numeric character ID, constructed from the buoy/platform identifier.
         -- The normal convention for drifting buoys is that character 3 in ID is either 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.
         -- The normal convention for moored buoys is that character 3 in ID is either 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
    - For surface marine C-MAN platform reports (C-MAN format) in Table A entry SFCSHP: Four alphabetic characters followed by one numeric character, constructed from the stationary buoy platform identifier.
    - For surface marine tide gauge reports in Table A entry SFCSHP: A five character ID, where alphabetic characters one and two contain the U.S. state post office ID and numeric characters three through five contain an index count unique to each state.  The ID is read from the NCEP tide gauge dictionary.
    - For surface marine coast guard reports in Table A entry SFCSHP: A four character ID, where character one is K and alphanumeric characters two through four are constructed from the raw bulletin.
    - For surface marine sea-level pressure bogus reports in Table A entry SFCBOG: A five character ID, where character one is P and numeric characters two through five contain a unique index count.
    - For SSM/I brightness temperature, SSM/I operational derived product or SSM/I NeuralNet 3 derived product reports in Table A entry SPSSMI:  The report ID is constructed in the reprocessing of the data dump (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section IV on DMSP SSM/I Data).
    - For synthetic tropical cyclone bogus wind reports in Table A entry SYNDAT: An eight character ID, constructed by the PREPBUFR processing program SYNDAT_SYNDATA, where characters one and two are MA, numeric characters three and four define a unique tropical storm number (note that SYNDAT_SYNDATA can produce bogus reports for any number of tropical storms) and numeric characters five through eight are a unique index count for synthetic bogus reports generated in the vicinity of the particular tropical storm.
    - For ERS scatterometer wind reports in Table A entry ERS1DA: The report ID is constructed in the reprocessing of the data dump (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section VIII on ERS Scatterometer Data).
    - For GOES low-resolution (5x5 FOV) or high-resolution (single FOV) sounding/radiance reports and single FOV cloud data n Table A entry GOESND: The report ID is constructed in the data dumping process (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section III on NESDIS GOES Satellite Retrieval/Sounding/Radiance Data).
    - For QuikSCAT scatterometer wind reports in Table A entry QKSWND: The report ID is constructed in the reprocessing of the data dump (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section IX on QUIKSCAT Scatterometer Data).
    - For ASCAT scatterometer wind reports in Table A entry ASCATW: The report ID is constructed in the reprocessing of the data dump (see Satellite Historical Documentation, Section XVIII on ASCAT Scatterometer Data).
   - For GPS-IPW/TZD reports in Table A entry GPSIPW:  For reports provided U.S. ENI/GPS Solutions: An eight alphanumeric character ID where the first four characters consist of an agency name, location (state, city), or project and the last four characters are always "GPSS". For international GNSS reports, up to an eight alphanumeric character ID where suffixes appear to designate the provider (e.g., "METO", "METG", "GFZ_", etc.) .  Note: Currently the latter are NOT encoded into the PREPBUFR file.


The NESDIS Recursive Filter Function (RFFL) is a measure of quality for satellite-derived winds provided by NESDIS.  It can range from 1 to 100.  A value under 50 is considered bad.  Otherwise, the higher the number the better the quality of the generated wind vector.
