( 1) 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.
( 2) Hours greater than 65534 will be coded as 65534.
