8.1 Standard/converted SIMULATED-observations structure/format
These are very simple unformatted structures consisting of a DDR (data-descriptor record) and a number of data records. The DDR is real two words long, whereas data records (reports) are also reals but of a variable length. Data reports logically consist of two parts: report header and report body. The report header is 10 words long. On the other hand the report body consists of a number of body entries. The standard SIMULATED observation body entry is 26 words long but the CONVERTED one is 10 words long. For missing values there is a SIMULATED observations missing indicator set to -99999.
