Significant Coastal Impacts to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast; Tropical Storm Nolo to Impact Hawaii

A strong coastal storm will bring moderate to major coastal flooding, strong winds, heavy rainfall and high surf to the Mid-Atlantic and New England. Tropical Storm Nolo is expected to strengthen into a hurricane today as it moves north toward the Big Island of Hawaii. Heavy rainfall may produce life-threatening, catastrophic flooding and mudslides. Read More >

Table B4

Data type designator T2

(when T1 = O)

Instructions for the proper application of the data type designator

1. The designator specified in this table should be used to the greatest extent possible to indicate the type of data contained within the body of the GRIB bulletin for oceanographic products.

2. Where more than one type is contained in the text, the designator for one of the data types should be used.

3. When the table does not contain a suitable designator for the data type, an alphabetic designator which is not assigned in the table should be introduced and the WMO secretariat notified.

Designator	Data Type
D	Depth
E	Ice concentration
F	Ice thickness
G	Ice drift
H	Ice growth
I	Ice convergence/divergence
Q	Temperature anomaly
R	Depth anomaly
S	Salinity
T	Temperature
U	Current component
V	Not assigned
W	Temperature warning
X	Mixed data values
