Dear community,
release v1.7 (Transition monitoring) is now available in the test system, following recent discussion with ET-WTR.
This release introduces a new module, the Transition Module, which is intended to monitor the Transition from GTS to WIS2, as well as from TAC to BUFR. It also features a redesigned landing page.
The Transition monitoring has two views, GTS to WIS2 and TAC to BUFR, which count and visualize the number of messages received by source or encoding.
The GTS to WIS2 view shows if a station is reporting in GTS, WIS2 or in both GTS & WIS2. It is intended to support the community to successfully migrate from GTS to WIS2.
The TAC to BUFR view shows if a station is reporting in TAC, BUFR or in both BUFR & TAC. It is intended to support the community with the BUFR transition.
Popups, available in both views, give more details on the number of reports, and detailed information can be downloaded via the API.
The Transition monitoring is built on pre-data assimilation data provided by ECMWF, and independent of data-assimilation and NWP model.
The re-designed landing page defaults to the NWP module, with tabs available to access the GBON, GCOS and Transition Monitoring modules.
Please test the new module and share your feedback. We are aiming to release v1.7 in late December 2025, together with an update to the documentation in the user manual.
with kind regards,
WDQMS development team
