SFUK data
Hi
first of all: happy new year to al! We have noticed that SFUK (lightning reports) are apparently no longer available...as maps: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rsfloc.html http://meteocentre.com/lightning/map...=en&map=Europe and as raw-data since 11th of december: http://www.atmos.albany.edu/weather/...e/surface/syn/ What's the reason? Has someone any idea, information? Thanks and greetings Joachim |

Whether there are plans to replace said bulletins I don't know, but I understand that when EGRR asked various 'official' users of the bulletins whether they wanted them to continue, the response was indifferent ;-( " Martin." ______________ Very frustrating.

I haven't got anymore information apart from that I posted above; as I understand things, the bulletins that used to appear under the header "SFUK31 EGRR", in WMO code FM-82, are no longer generated as there appeared to be little demand for them, at least in that format. I believe that Exeter generate bulletins under different headers and presumably in different formats (?BUFR and/or csv?) for NWSs because these data are very valuable, but it presumably wasn't thought necessary to continue with the code form above. I can only advise that you try and make contact with Exeter Met Office direct and see if they can provide you with an alternative; you are not alone in asking - I believe others in Europe have been caught out by this change, so the more requests made the better it would be.

SFUK data
I know it will be a very poor substitute, but I have created a page
http://www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~brugge/web_thun.html that will list recent reports of thunder as determined from 3-hourly SYNOPs. Nothing showing yet. A similar page http://www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~brugge/web_snow.html for snow is also available - also empty at the moment but hopefully soon to contain some reports.

Thanks and greetings Joachim On meteocentre, in substitute, I created maps from the blitzortung boltek network : http://meteocentre.com/lastimg.php?l...DRE% 20BOLTEK I still need to adjust the maps to create the same areas that were done with SFUk data. I still didn't find how to get access to the new ATD data. I am in contact with the MetOffice. We will see... Christian Pag¨¦ http://meteocentre.com/home_e.html |
