This metadata record was created automatically based on the WMO No.9 Volume C1 declaration for bulletin SMUK01EGRR. Other references were used in the process, including WMO No.9 Volume A, WMO No.386 Manual on the GTS and WMO No.306 Manual on Codes. This work was done by Météo-France on a "best effort" basis. The current metadata record is therefore provided more for information than for reference.
