contains |
atm |
netCDF-3 |
observed profile (lat, lon, bending angle, refractivity, dry temperature, and tropopause height) |
wet |
netCDF-3 |
observed profile (output from 1D-Var, i.e., temperature, pressure, humidity) |
dis |
netCDF-3 |
observed profile (thinned products from the atm file together with products from the wet file) |
bfr |
BUFR |
observed profile (bending angle, refractivity, and 1D-Var products from the dis file) |
bgn |
netCDF-3 |
ECMWF operational analysis profile (bending angle, refractivity, temperature, etc.) |
bgo |

Download notes
Example to download all Spire atm files using wget (be aware that this may be a lot of data):
wget -rN -np -A.tgz --user=xxxx --ask-password https://rom-saf.eumetsat.int/pub/nrt/profs/spire/atm
The individual files are packed in daily zipped tar files.
Upon unpacking, the individual files are placed in a folder named after the date.
The individual files for occultations that failed the ROM SAF quality control are placed in a subfolder named 'non-nominal'.
