Hello,
I've noticed that we've received a handful of surface observations that
appear to be formatted using the old airways observation formatting. Attached
is an example that I cut & paste from nwx for Paducah KY for surface hourlies
from the past 48 hours. Notice the regular METARs mixed in with the SAOs.
Is this a side effect of data being injected into IDD from EMWIN sources, or
is this a different issue that NOAA needs to be made aware of? I'm seeing
this issue in one form or another with the following stations:
ABR PIR PWT ADS MRF MLU PAH PNS NTK XVW PTH WSN
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brendon
That's a Canadian ob. There are a handful of them that still report SAO
code that Environment Canada haven't upgraded to the "new" METAR format.
