KEY:
* - Currently not produced/not written into PREPBUFR files and even if it were, would not be used operationally by SSI-analyses.
A - Used operationally by all SSI-analyses.
+ - Currently written into PREPBUFR files but not used operationally by SSI-analyses.
P - Only surface pressure used by SSI-analyses (other variables are written into PREPBUFR files).
L - Added to PREPBUFR file by later program SYNDATA, used operationally by SSI-analyses.
M - TOVS1b radiances are not written to PREPBUFR file, but are used operationally by SSI-analyses.
@ - Station pressure calculated from reported mean sea-level pressure and elevation via U.S. Standard Atmosphere approximation. Elevation is greater than 7.5 meters.
% - Reported station pressure and mean sea-level pressure BOTH missing. Station pressure is set to
1013 mb. Elevation is less than or equal to 7.5 meters.
