SIO has had 3 WMO that were assigned to us via NOAA a couple years ago, that I finally got around to using to find out they had been in the interim given to other groups. The WMOs were 5906966-68. The situation has been rectified at the GDAC. |

Hi, We will investigate this situation here.with the following list of WMO and try to find out why you faced dupicates for those. In the meantime, I would suggest to request WMO ID only from the OceanOPS API (Request ID) and get rid of WMO ID assigned before the set up of this tool in 2023 (if I recall well). |

Hi Tanya, [minor comment from UK that is probably already covered by what's been said by others!] We've occasionally seen this happen with moored buoys but not with Argo floats (in the UK). In my experience, it's not possible to register/notify a float with OceanOPS if the WMO ID already exists... I expect Victor will know :0) . Maybe this is a temporary glitch that arose while the OceanOPS system was down earlier this year? Cheers |

JAMSTEC has one float whose WMO no is 1902344. |

We need a bit more insight to really understand the issue. As we don't see duplicate at OceanOPS. Could you confirm that the list of WMO below were already used when you tried to notify the float in the OceanOPS system or when you created the data/metadata files at GDAC ?
here is the list of floats: |

Hello,
Within the GO-BGC program, we have recently been encountering cases of duplicate WMO assignments. Some of these issues can be traced back to duplicate assignments in original distributions from OceanOps (that later got reconciled in one place, but took longer to resolve in all places of the system).
Here are WMO for three recent discrepancies:
3902557
2903865
4903745
Thanks!
