Feeds of DBNet data from GTS
This page provides details on the GTS bulletin headers for DBNet data. It is based on the data files that are monitored by the NWP SAF and complements the information given in the DBNet Coding Summary linked from WMO’s DBNet web page. A separate table is given for each data provider.
EUMETSAT (EARS)
This table covers the EARS-ATOVS, EARS-IASI, EARS-ATMS, EARS-CRIS and EARS-VASS services. See EUMETSAT web page

Notes:
- The station identifiers are as follows:
B: Athens, K: Kangerlussuaq, L: Lannion, M: Maspalomas & V: Svalbard - St Denis station data is now transmitted directly by Météo-France on the GTS; the Canadian stations Edmonton and Gander are now part of the NOAA network.
NOAA network
This network is a partnership between NOAA and SSEC/UW/CIMSS

Note: La Réunion has two centre/subcentre codes. Currently all feeds are processed at St Denis under the control of Météo France with a centre code of 211 (Lannion). However, historically, ATOVS data were historically processed by EUMETSAT and disseminated with a centre code of 254 (EUMETSAT).
