Dear All, We have completed the transition of the IROWG email list. The previous address, irowglist(a)irowg.org, is now officially retired. Going forward, all IROWG announcements will be sent to the new email address. The IROWG website has also been updated with the latest contact information. Please help spread the word within your networks. I would like to extend my gratitude to Christian Marquardt and EUMETSAT for their dedicated efforts during this transition and their ongoing support for the new email service. I also appreciate your prompt responses and continued support for the IROWG community. Wishing everyone wonderful holidays ahead and a fantastic 2025!

Potential removal of 1D-Var products from BUFR
by Neill Bowler 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

OFFICIAL Hi all, In looking further at the new BUFR sequence, we have been asked the question whether the 1D-Var products (temperature, pressure and specific humidity) and the surface quantities (surface pressure, geopotential height of surface) are required. These are referred to as Level2b and Level2c products in the ROM SAF BUFR description: https://rom-saf.eumetsat.int/romsaf_bufr.pdf We are thinking that NWP centres don't use these products, and therefore they can be removed from the BUFR format (they may still be available from data providers in other formats). If you use these products from BUFR files, then please let us know as soon as possible. If we don't here that they are used, then we will remove them from the new, revised format specification. Many thanks, Neill (on behalf of the BUFR format committee) Neill Bowler GNSS radio occultation Met Office FitzRoy Road Exeter EX1 3PB United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0)3301 351859 neill.bowler(a)metoffice.gov.uk<mailto:neill.bowler@metoffice.gov.uk> Web: www.metoffice.gov.uk<http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/> Pronouns: he, him, his.
