Peter, I derived the synoptic decoder from the official manual (nws manual 306). I'm not saying there isn't an error, but I'll recheck. Also, the decoders was written almost 3 years ago, the manual might have changed. I'll let you know what I find out. Robb... On Wed, 7 Jul 1999, Unidata Support wrote:

Looking over it, it appears that wind speed and direction are missing. There are fields for the "Highest mean wind speed", "Buoy/Ship Speed", and "Buoy/SHip Direction", but apparently no provision for wind speed and direction. Is it possible that the ship direction/speed is misnamed for the wind direction and speed? We are decoding synoptics into netcdf files using the Unidata decoder and are decifering the output now. Insight appreciated. Peter Neilley, NCAR/RAP neilley@xxxxxxxx 303-497-8446
