Basic Meteorological Data

Abstract:
The Basic Meteorological Data (BMD) Service within the WMO Regional Association VI contains a set of data specific for this region which is multicast via the EUMETCast system. The data contains data such as SYNOP, TEMP, PILOT, Warnings and Tropical Cyclone data as well as forecast data in GRIB format from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). In addition, charts of WAFS, Aerological Diagrams, basic meteorological field parameters and observations are disseminated in graphical representation.
