Example: station 60351 would be represented by World Weather Watch land station with sub-index number (SI) = 1 0: station defined in WMO-No. 9 Volume A on 1 July 2016. Any other positive number: to distinguish between different observing facilities that used the station identifier in the past. Use the block number (II) and the station number (iii) as a single five digit number IIiii (with leading zeroes). Example: upper air station 57816 would be represented by 20002 World Weather Watch Marine Platform (moored or drifting buoy, platform, etc.) 0 - platform for the identifier was in use on 1 July 2016. Any other positive number - to distinguish between different platforms that used the same identifier at different times. Use the region/platform number combination A1bwnbnbnb Examples: the data buoy would be represented by The World Weather Watch list of data buoys lists two buoys with identifier 13001.
