The Systems Operations Center (SOC)
of the National Weather Service (NWS)
has developed a "C" language software
package to decode WMO FM 15-IX Ext.
(METAR) and FM 16-IX Ext. (SPECI)
formatted reports. The format
specifications for these report types
are described in the Federal
Meteorological Handbook Number 1
(FMH-1), Surface Weather Observations
and Reports (December 1995). A METAR
report may consist of two parts - 1)
the main body of the report consists
of observational data that meets
aviation requirements (e.g. wind speed
and direction, sky condition,
temperature and dew point temperature,
etc.) 2) the remarks section may
consist of one or more sections (i.e.
Automated and Manual, Plain Language
(Manual Only), and Additive Data and
Automated Maintenance) The MDSP is
specifically designed to meet SOC
operational requirements. Nevertheless,
it is a comprehensive decoder. As a
result, SOC management decided to make
the MDSP available to any interested
party via Internet. However, as the SOC
makes this software available, it
neither implies or guarantees the
accuracy or dependability of the MDSP.
The MDSP makes no attempt to decode any
METAR/SPECI group that does not conform
to the METAR/SPECI format outlined in
FMH-1 (METAR).
