Introduction

Standard Overview

QX/T 235-2014 specifies the BUFR coding format for commercial aircraft meteorological observation data (AMDAR). This standard is based on the WMO FM94 specification and is applicable to the standardized representation and exchange of aviation meteorological data.


Core coding structure

Data segment Number of octets Key content
Indication segment 8 BUFR start flag, version number
Identification segment 23 Data source, generation time
Data description segment 33 Element descriptor (temperature/wind speed, etc.)

Key technical points

1.

Data element coding

The quantization method of scale factor + reference value is adopted, for example:

  • Temperature: Kelvin unit, scale factor 2, 16-bit width
  • Wind speed: m/s unit, scale factor 1, 12-bit width

2. Status Coding Specification

The flight status adopts 15-level classification coding (Table A.1), for example: Code 3 indicates horizontal flight routine observation (LVR)


Implementation Recommendations

Data Processing Precautions

  1. Time is uniformly coded in UTC time zone
  2. Missing data needs to be filled with all 1 bits
  3. The BUFR version number needs to be verified (currently 15)

Typical application scenarios

The North China Air Traffic Control Bureau uses this standard to achieve efficient exchange of flight weather data with the Meteorological Information Center, shortening data delay to minutes.
