Mark,
The WMO header that the data bulletins are broadcast with follows the format:
TTAAii CCCC YYGGgg BBB ....
See: http://www.weather.gov/tg/headef.html for a decription of the WMO defined
identifiers.
A decription of the data being broadcast by the US National Weather service on
NOAAPORT, is
provided at: http://weather.noaa.gov/tg/wmohdg.shtml
The WMO defines the CCCC group as the originating center, so you could store
your data by
center and YYYYMMDD such as:
IDS|DDPLUS <tab> ^[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9] ([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z])
([0-3][0-9])[0-2][0-9][0-6][0-9]
<tab> FILE <tab> \1/(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2
in the above, the \1 regex refers to the 4 character sequence bounded by the
first set of
parentheses "(A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z])".
The \2 regex refers to the second set of parentheses (eg the day of month group
in the WMO heading.
The LDM uses the current system clock and the day of month to guess at the YYYY
and MM groups
using (\2:yyyy) and (\2:mm) respectively, so the (\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2 sequence
will create the YYYYMMDD
date.
