Good morning
Australia has two upper air stations that have been relocated in the last couple years.
TOWNSVILLE AERO : 0-20000-0-94294 to Woodstock : 0-36-9-95282
ROCKHAMPTON AERO : 0-20000-0-94374 to Yeppoon (Barmaryee) : 0-36-9-94001
In the GBON Webtool both pairs of stations show up, even though Townsville and Rockhampton have ceased to operate radiosondes.
Should the the "Intended for international exchange: Yes" field be changed to "No" now that it is no longer reporting, even though in the past it was intended for international exchange?
I am not clear what is the preferred method to deal with this field in terms of historical metadata. In other words, does "Intended for International Exchange" refer to the period (e.g. From: 2016-04-29 to 2020-01-17) or is it interpreted as being current?
Let me know if you need any further clarification for my question.
Thank you
Karl Monnik, Melbourne
