    - 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 in 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).


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.


Operator descriptors change the actual storage for REQV to scale 6 and bit width 18.
