Best times to pull radiosonde/upper data from COD so that I can get maximum coverage when plotting maps?

I was guessing 0130 and 1330 UTC? But many of the obs are missing, I was unsure whether it's bad timing of just lack of reports/date across Europe.

You probably have your scheduler set at the wrong times for the Fleetcode. See my post a little bit further down about Fleetcode times.

Good luck with the forum registration, Tim doesn`t come on here much anymore.

Yeah I have a few scripts running (for a few years now), just fancied adding fleetcode and european synop plots.

I have the "euro" scripts written up and the scheduler set - look forward to seeing my results over the next few days!
