or upper air (<a

IUS for example should be "Radiosondes/pibal reports" while ISS would be for
"Floating platforms (ship, bouy[sic], etc.)" originating

Other regional information can be derived from the originating office

form of a region code but that does not seem to be the case here. On that
first table page all that's listed is **, and the only worthwhile
explanation is on page 59 of this: <a

Short version is I _think_ these are simply unique identifiers for these types
of reports, but they may have other meaning depending on the issuing
agency. Either way though, I don't _think_ this is region/location info
as that all seems to be defined in A2. Note the level of confidence in my
"voice" however.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Devin:</div><div>I

am not sure about your pattern with first letters "IU" regardless of Japan or
