[Cosmic_announce] Edition 4 BUFR files expected soon!

[Doug Hunt]

Greetings:

The current version of BUFR files available from CDAAC and the 
GTS is edition 3.  By the end of November, the WMO wants all edition 3 
files to be phased out in favor of the more recent edition 4 BUFR files.

The change is only a small difference in the header--all the values 
remain the same.  Attached are sample edition 4 BUFR files from the COSMIC 
and C/NOFS missions.

Next week we plan to start delivering these files.  Note that the version 
will change from the current '0001.0006' to '0001.0007'.

Please let me (dhunt at ucar.edu) know if you see a problem with these 
files or need extra time!

Best Regards,

   Doug Hunt
