Kevin,
I wrote the metar2nc decoder over 5 years ago, can't say that I know the
details about variables now. But here's URL to the metar handbook:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oso/oso1/oso12/fmh1/fmh1toc.htm
Look at section 9 for your answers. Also if you find any discrepanies
between the handbook and the code, I would like to know.
Thanks,
Robb...

I am interested in ceiling and visibility data and I am
using the metar2nc decoders to create netCDF files.
When I do a ncdump on the netCDF files I see very few
values for the ceiling variable. I notice that
there is a cloud_hgt variable...should I be looking
at this variable instead? What is the difference between
these two variables in the netCDF files.
Thanks,
Kevin Petty
