The idea with BUFR feedback data is to store, in addition to the original
input BUFR data, all relevant observation-related information gathered during
the data-assimilation cycle. This information is:
|
1) TOVS/SSMI/SCAT "PRESAT" |
|
2) Report events and status, |
|
4) Analysis variables flags: |
|
5) Analysis variables events and status: |
|
6) Analysis variables data qc constants: |
|
Probability of gross error, and |
|
7) Analysis variables error statistics: |
|
Representativeness obs. error, and |
|
8) Analysis variables departures: |
|
Initial update departure, |
|
Initial high resolution departure, |
|
Initial low resolution departure, |
|
Final low resolution departure, and |
This is done, as already said, by appending the original input BUFR data
with the new information. Each of the items of information mentioned above
forms a separate section. Thus, there may be seven main feedback sections,
of which some may have a few subsections. Each of these sections/subsections
starts by first declaring what it is, by using BUFR (unexpanded) descriptors
followed by the actual information.
The first-mentioned feedback section (TOVS/SSMI/SCAT "PRESAT") exists only
in the case of satellite observations.
