Hi Franke,

The meaning of the fields is described in the WMO Manual on Codes.
A quick Google search using 'WMO Manual on Codes' shows a number
of links including:

https://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WMOCodes/WMO306_vI1/Publications/2017update/WMO306_vI1_2011UP2017_en.pdf

This probably has the information you need.

re:
> Or whether you know how to retrieve the glider data?

Sorry, I do not remember which WMO headers specify glider data.
I would try doing a Google search using 'wmo header for glider data'
as the search key.

Cheers,

Tom
