Global BUFR Data Stream: Ships and Buoy Observations from National Weather Service Telecommunications Gateway (NWS TG)

These are raw ship and buoy (moored and drifting) observations provided by World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Member States. Data are transmitted through the WMO Global Telecommunication System (GTS) and picked up by the National Weather Service's Telecommunication Gateway (NWS-TG) where it is made available to NCEI . Member States are transitioning from ASCII to BUFR formats and this collection will assure that data in both formats are archived for future use.
