CREX


CREX (a "Character form for Representation and EXchange of data") is an alphanumeric TDCF (Table-Driven Code Form) defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to represent meteorological data. CREX became operational in May 2000.

CREX is self-descriptive, and its main advantages are its flexibility and its expandability. In addition, CREX messages are human-readable. CREX complements BUFR in areas where binary coding is not feasible.

CREX editions - CREX edition 2 is operational from 2 Nov 2005. CREX editions 1 and 2 are operational in parallel up to 2012.
