Can someone point me to some 'sample' code as I am having trouble
understanding how this code works. I did the same with synop code
worked through an 'actual' code determining what numbers meant what.
One thing I have not been able to establish is a list of locations to
code, like synop 03002 etc, which is the station locater. Is there
such a list yet?


.... The WMO have a whole host of papers etc., detailing the changes: the
one most pertinent would appear to be ....

The three 'layers' are designed to introduce users in ascending order of
complexity ;-)

Layer 1 appears to have some examples, including a comparison of SYNOP
and CREX format. However, you may need Layer 3 for the 'Full Monty'
unfortunately.

The location indicators, AFAIK, will remain as we know them. They will
be separated, as I understand, into a group with II and one with iii, so
the info will be there.

Best of luck!

Martin.
