The motivation for this test case is to test how NWP models deal with WIGOS ids.
To this aim, a Python3 program has been created to add WIGOS ids to current SYNOP messages received at ECMWF.
The outline of this page is :
1) Problem description
2) Program flow
3) Test data file and caveats
Data date of predefined data set is: 2019-10-15 till 2019-10-17
1) Description
The WIGOS id contains four parts such as 0-2XXXX-0-YYYYY,
wigosIdentifierSeries | Issuer of Identifier | Issue Number | LocalIdentifier |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 2XXXX | 0 | YYYYY |
The OSCAR web REST API interface ("https://oscar.wmo.int/surface/rest/api/search/station?) was used to obtain a list of all the WIGOS Ids available at the moment ( ).
From this information only the surface observations 0-20000-0-YYYYY were used.
The last part of the WIGOS id, ( local Identifier) matches the current BUFR message identifier ( concatenation of blockNumber and stationNumber) and is used to do the mapping between
old stations and their WIGOS ids.

The program can be called with the following arguments
-i input BUFR file containing SYNOP messages without WIGOS ids
-o output BUFR file that will contain the SYNOP messages with WIGOS Id.
-m mode ( can be 'web' to allow the program connect to OSCAR server or 'json' to make the program use a JSON file containing the same information as the OSCAR server) this was done to speed up the development avoiding reloading the Oscar data from the web
-l log file to write the progress of the conversion
The program flow is the following
1) read the command line arguments
2) read the OSCAR information from web or JSON file and store it in a pandas DataFrame that will help in the mapping. The two functions read_oscar_web and read_oscar_json return a JSON list of dictionaries
that are filtered to retain only the surface observations with issuer Number 20000( surface observations) Then a pandas dataframe is used to store this information and help in the querying of the database.
3) open the input BUFR file and read each individual message
4) for each message, create the message identifier ( concatenation of blockNumber+stationNumber) and add the WIGOS information to the messages
that are uncompressed ( compressed =0) and single subset ( numberOfSubsets=1) if their ident matches the ones in wigosDf.
5) If get_ident function founds many idents on a message only returns the first one.
During program execution a log file is generated containing information about the processing.
At this point some caveats are needed
- Only uncompressed messages (compressed =0) and single subset (numberOfSubsets=1) are considered
- The Oscar information retrieved from the web server has to be cleared for this program to work. This is the goal of the function parse_json_into_dataframe that uses regular expressions to filter out the WIGOS data.
- When setting the WIGOS information It is important to preserve the data types , for example "wigosLocalIdentifierCharacter" is a character string.
- The masterTablesVersionNumber must be above 28 otherwise no WIGOS ids can be added. This is done in the add_wigos_info function that updates the table version number key for each message processed.
Results
The output file contains 19543 SYNOP messages obtained from running the program on a input BUFR file containing raw SYNOP data received through GTS
This file contains 7 TEMP messages obtained running the program on a BUFR file containing raw TEMP messages.
