Hmm...

I just did a Google search using the search key 'wmo tsunami headers'
and the first hit was:

Tsunami Product Codes - WMO Headers (August 2007)
https://iotic.ioc-unesco.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Global_Tsunami_Warning_and_Advisory_Message_Products.pdf

As you will see, the WEXX30 products are: Public Tsunami Warnings, Watches, and 
Advisories.
This PDF, which is old, does not show WEXX4 products.

Here is the URL for a page that looks more current (2017, at least):

https://www.tsunami.gov/?page=product_list

From this table, the headers you note above, WEXX[34] and WECA[34] look
like some of the ones that you may be interested in.

If the  headers you sent are the only ones of interest, then a
regular expression to be used in an LDM pattern-action file that
should work could be:

WE(XX|CA)[34]

I would try an action that looks like:

WMO  (WE(XX|CA)[34]) .... (..)(..)(..)
   FILE -close
   /data/ldm/pub/native/text/tsunami/\3:yyyy\3:mm\3/\1_\3\4\5

Remember:

WMO == IDS|DDPLUS|HDS

This is just a guess, of course :-)


Cheers,

Tom
