I am in currently writing scripts to decode SYNOP reports
every 3 hours, day or night.

Output can be seen at
http://www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~brugge/00.html
(replace 00 with 03, 06, 09, 12, 15, 18 or 21 as required).

The scripts are a little temperamental, so if there are
problems please be patient. However, comments are welcome.

The files are valid for the last 24 hours, as the archive
is a rolling one.

Colin Tandy and I produced a SYNOP program in the 1990's. It is very
good, although data acquisition made it a bit cumbersome. Even so we
were proud of it. You can have the software (with Colin's permission)
if you want it.

The station plots are as good as we could get them. And I thought them
up to Office quality. Colin used a Mercator projection (as it was
global) but I preferred the polar stereo at 60N.

Good luck - have you got a good source of synops? Sure you have but
contact me if you need any URLs-I think I have still got them.

We also decoded upper information with good success.

Look forward to your results.

Cheers

Paul
