Number of contributing spectral bands (NB) |
| 16 - Repeat the following 11 octets for each contributing band (nb = 1,NB), if NB >0 | |
| (16+11(nb-1))—(17+11(nb-1)) | Satellite series of band nb ( code table defined by originating/generating centre) |
| (18+11(nb-1))—(19+11(nb-1)) | Satellite number of band nb (code table defined by originating/generating centre) |
| (20+11(nb-1))—(21+11(nb-1)) | Instrument types of band nb (code table defined by originating/generating centre) |
| (22 +11(nb-1)) | Scale factor of central wave number of band nb |
| (23+11(nb-1))—(26+11(nb-1)) | Scaled value of central wave number of band nb (units: m-1) |
| Note : For “satellite series of band nb”, “satellite numbers of band nb” and “instrument types of band nb”, it is recommended to encode the values as per BUFR Code tables 0 02 020, 0 01 007 (Common Code table C–5) and 0 02 019 (Common Code table C–8), respectively. |
