On the above page I is for "Binary observation - BUFR" so that's what we're expecting. You can click those table links to the right on that row to understand what the remaining characters mean...</div><div><br></div><div>When T1 is I, T2 designates the data type. S is for surface/sea level, U is for upper air (soundings). So given this, Greg's pattern is matching surface data and not soundings.</div><div><br></div><div>A1 depends on if we're looking at surface or upper air (<a href="https://www.weather.gov/tg/tablec6";>https://www.weather.gov/tg/tablec6</a>). IUS for example should be "Radiosondes/pibal reports" while ISS would be for "Floating platforms (ship, bouy[sic], etc.)" originating data.</div><div><br></div><div>A2 starts to define regions, this is the first character that represents any form of location (at least for T1=I products <a href="https://www.weather.gov/tg/tablec3";>https://www.weather.gov/tg/tablec3</a>). Other regional information can be derived from the originating office identifier.</div><div><br></div><div>ii can be many things, it's common to be a form of a region code but that does not seem to be the case here. On that first table page all that's listed is **, and the only worthwhile explanation is on page 59 of this: <a href="https://library.wmo.int/records/item/35800-manual-on-the-global-telecommunication-system";>https://library.wmo.int/records/item/35800-manual-on-the-global-telecommunication-system</a> Short version is I _think_ these are simply unique identifiers for these types of reports, but they may have other meaning depending on the issuing agency. Either way though, I don't _think_ this is region/location info as that all seems to be defined in A2.
