This utility/program helps with collecting metadata for WMO Publication No. 47. WMO Publication No. 47 (Pub47), the International List of Selected, Supplementary and Auxiliary Ships, contains details about the names, call signs, ship layout, types of instrumentation and methods of observation used on VOS ships. It relies on the regular submission of metadata from National Meteorological Services operating VOS programmes, nominally on a quarterly basis.
