(Proposal) Numbering convention for non WMO stations within DE_330

Samuel Viana edited this page May 10, 2023 · 1 revision

The station list used by HARP point verification within DE_330 project is based in harmonie's allsynop.list. This station list is based on information in WMO's ''Publication No. 9, Volume A, Observing Stations and WMO Catalogue of Radiosondes. This is regularly updated by the WMO. There is also scope to include local stations in these lists that are not included in WMO's Publication No. 9''. The following 7-digit station identifiers are available / in use by HIRLAM countries:

Country identifier
Norway 1000000 - 1099999
Sweden 2000000 - 2099999
Estonia 2600000 - 2649999
Lithuania 2650000 - 2699999
Finland 2700000 - 2799999
Ireland 3900000 - 3999999
Iceland 4000000 - 4099999
Greenland 4200000 - 4299999
Denmark 6000000 - 6099999
Netherlands 6200000 - 6299999
Spain 8050000 - 8099999

For adding non WMO stations from other DE_330 countries, it is proposed to expand the list this way:

Country identifier
France 7000000 - 7099999
Belgium 6400000 - 6499999
Austria 1100000 - 1133333
Czech Rep. 1133334 - 1166666
Croatia 1400000 - 1449999
Hungary 1200000 - 1249999
Latvia 2200000 - 2299999
Slovenia 1450000 - 1499999
Portugal 8000000 - 8049999
Bulgary 1500000 - 1599999
Slovakia 1166667 - 1199999
Poland 1250000 - 1299999

This list has been created by generating 7-digit codes taking the first two significant figures/digits of WMO's list of Station Id's by country. When the same two figures are shared by different countries, the remaining 5 figures are split between them.
