Default SYNOP R.I.P.
I have just learned from the Met Office that use of the SYNOP code will cease
in November this year and land surface observations will be distributed in BUFR
format only from then.

Other Category 1 messages (SYNOP MOBIL, PILOT, PILOT MOBIL, TEMP, TEMP MOBIL,
TEMP DROP, CLIMAT) will migrate to BUFR in Nov 2014.
