Tables 1-8 contain lists of suspect stations in the format
according to Recommendation 3 CBS-Ext(85).

Tab Observation Type Parameter Level/Layer
1 SHIP MSL Pressure Surface
2 SHIP Wind Speed Surface
3 SHIP Wind Direction Surface
4 DRIFTER MSL Pressure Surface
5 DRIFTER Wind Speed Surface
6 DRIFTER Wind Direction Surface
7 TEMP Geopotential 1000- 30 hPa
8 TEMP/PILOT Wind 1000-100 hPa
9 TEMP/PILOT Wind Direction 500-150 hPa
(SHIP tables include data from fixed marine platforms e.g. moored buoys.)

Figures 10-13 show the locations of suspect stations given in tables 7 and 8.

Fig Observation Type Parameter Observation Time
10 TEMP Geopotential 00 UTC
11 TEMP Geopotential 12 UTC
12 TEMP/PILOT Wind 00 UTC
13 TEMP/PILOT Wind 12 UTC
Tables 10 and 11 provide quality statistics for all TEMPSHIPS and PILOTSHIPS
received during the month.

Tab Parameter Observation Time
10 Geopotential 00 and 12 UTC
11 Wind 00 and 12 UTC
Figures 14-18 show global charts of SATOB and aircraft wind statistics in the
form of wind vectors averaged over 5 degree boxes.

Fig Parameter Level/Layer
14 SATOB - Mean observed wind 1000-700 hPa
15 SATOB - Mean observed wind 400-150 hPa
16 SATOB - Mean observed minus first-guess wind 1000-700 hPa
17 SATOB - Mean observed minus first-guess wind 400-150 hPa
18 AIRCRAFT WIND - Mean observed minus first-guess 300-150 hPa
Table 12 provides quality statistics of aircraft wind observations stratified
by airline carrier.
