Authors
Summary and purpose
The Ocean Gliders Data Management Task Team (OGDMTT) proposes a new BUFR sequence to report the full suite of glider observations along a trajectory profile.
Action proposed
The team is kindly asked to review and approve the contents for inclusion within the next update to the WMO Manual on Codes.
Discussions
Ocean glider data is currently submitted to the GTS using the Argo BUFR sequence (3-15-003) but this is not ideal. For example, the Argo sequence does not allow the along track positions to be reported as part of the trajectory profile and a number of parameters are missing. This new sequence seeks to address those deficiencies.
Detailed proposal (updated 10/01/2023)
