Feedback proposed by Dale & Belay

• Frequent feedback/reporting to improve site performance

• Automatic email for failed QA/QC

• A webpage could be updated with the feedback for each site. An automated e-mail could be sent to the site rep notifying him/her that feedback is available on their web page

• Monthly summary

LC wish list

• Additional ground check in SHC

• Include these readings in metadata!

• Burst altitude:

• 100 hPa: tropospheric humidity

• 10 hPa: temperature

• 5 hPa: temperature trend detection (1/week) Scheduling task team

• Use RsLaunchClient to submit data (Metadata!)

• Lead Centre can assist

• Submit data directly after sounding!

• Timely feedback. Satellite validation

GTS - BUFR

Full BUFR: Allows extensive meta data and high resolution FM35 (TEMP message): Highly condensed data with limited vertical resolution and limited metadata.
