To LDM-User Public;
Hi there. I'm looking for documentation that describe the protocol
line-by-line of WMO, INTNL, MCIDAS, etc. files. For instance the INTNL
file below is just an instance of data read off an LDM feed; however,
the line-by-line translation of what the data represents and means is
cryptic without the protocol.
Typcial Intnl....file:
1. ^M^M
2. ^C^A^M^M
3. 521 ^M^M
4. SIVE30 KWBC 182100^M^M
5. BBXX^M^M
6. DQEB 18214 99151 51433 41698 53321 10273 20212 40105 56015 70322^M^M
7. 85183 22264 00262 20303 335// 40606 BBXX=^M^M
8. ^M^M
9. ^C^A^M^M
10. 522 ^M^M
11. SITO21 NFTF 182100^M^M
12. AAXX 18214^M^M
13. 91780 41598 40000 10227 20213 40147 70300 84200 92035 333 562// =^M^M
14. 91784 41498 80000 10220 20205 40142 70328 888// 92035 333 569// =^M^M
15. 91785 41498 81802 10216 2021/ 78222 888// 333 564// =^M^M
16. 91786 41498 80402 10206 2019/ 40158 70522 888// 92030 333 561// =^M^M
17. 91792 41498 70000 10216 20202 40160 53018 72528 878// 333 568//^M^M
18. 84816 87635 555 20050 32620 41922 =^M^M
19. ^M^M
20. ^C^A^M^M
21. 523 ^M^M
22. SIPF20 NTAA 182100^M^M
23. AAXX 18214^M^M
For instance lines 2, 9 & 20 could be start-of-message indicators.
Followed respectively by lines 3, 10 & 21 which appear to be message
sequence numbers. But after that I couldn't even begin to guess as to
the nature of the information.
Hence does anyone have or know where I can get the protocol definitions
for the above filetype files or better yet programs with documentation
that will parse this data files already.
