WIGOS Station ID for stations to be affiliated

Hello,

we have been trying to register a new station in Cyprus using OSCAR/Surface;   the station is an atmospheric observatory, with the intention to make the data available to EUMETNET E-Profile.  There already exists another such station in Cyprus (0-20008-0-CYP) and is currently affiliated with GAW.

We are currently unable to issue a WSI of the form 0-20008;  we only seem to be able to issue a WSI of the form 0-196- using OSCAR/Surface.

Could you please advise on how to proceed?

Many thanks and kind regards,

Demetris Charalambous (Cyprus OSCAR/Surface NFP)

Dear Demetrios,
According to the Guide to WIGOS (WMO-No. 1165) a new station, i.e. a station that is associated with a WMO programme after 1-July-2016, should use their ISO country code as the Issuer of Identifier (2nd block of WSI).
As an exception, the GAW programme could issue a WSI in the form of 0-20008-x-x, in cases where the PR of the country, via the NFP, is not willing/able to issue a WSI in the form of 0-ISOCountryCode-x-x.
Thank you, kind regards,
Luis

Dear Luis,
thank you very much for your response and for clarifying the situation! We will proceed with the registration using 0-196- which is the ISO country code for Cyprus.
Thank you again and have a great day!
Kind regards,
