Description:

"WMO Grid Code provides the essential guidelines for encoding grid-point data. Requests for large volumes of grid data demonstrated the need to (1) select a specific guideline for each data type, (2) use a single encoding program, and (3) devise a naming scheme for Grid Code bulletins. A fourth need has been to document the first three. This Office Note describes the background of Grid Code use at NMC, selected encoding guidelines, the encoding program, and procedures for adding and naming new bulletins--and is intended for NMC use only"--Introduction.
