know it is a METAR? Adds another
We will know it is a Metar and as we read:
and TAFOR METAR reports are neither more nor less than
information meteorology prevailing at a particular airport,
obtained by the local weather station, is provided in a format and encoding
determined that at first glance may be understandable, once known is
very simple.
The difference between METAR and TAFOR is the kind of information they provide.
METAR (Meteorological Report) are prevailing at an airport information
determined at a given time and have validity of 1 hour, while TAFOR (Terminal aerodrome forecast
) gives the weather forecast for this airport over the next few hours
(24 hours)
Both reports have similar formats and codes, but as stated
contain different information
see an example:
SVMI 012300Z 05003KT 9999 FEW016 SCT100 25/21 Q1010 NOSIG
SVMI: Simon Bolivar Airport (ICAO determination of Airport)
012300Z: first day (01) of the month Trainee at 23:00 Zulu Time, also known as UTC
05003kt: from 050 03KT Wind (knots)
9999: visibility of 9999 meters, ie unlimited FEW016
: Few Clouds to FL016 or 1600 ft (feet)
SCT100: Stratos to FL100 or 10000ft (feet)
25/21: 25 ° C and 21 dew point, you have to note that the closer is a number of other there is greater chance of rain
Q1010: 1010 indicates pressure Millibars we see here is less than 1013 which is the standard pressure, therefore we have low pressure and also indicates possible rain.
nosing: No significant change means that will remain so by the hours or no changes are expected
This is a basic example, but can vary with time, then we will see the codes to see in the metar. With
we know if there are codes, atmospheric phenomena such as rain, snow, fog ..., indicating even the force and how it can affect visibility fog, both horizontally and vertically, as these values \u200b\u200bare important to When pilots fly. The names of these phenomena includes:
• DZ drizzle;
• GR: large hail;
• GS: small hail;
• IC: ice crystals;
• PE: ice pellets,
• RA: rain
• SG: water, snow,
• SH: showers;
• TS: storms;
• SN: snow. As the fog and visibility is concerned, this is classified as
• BR: Mist (1,000 to 5,000 m visibility);
• FG: fog (less than 1,000 m);
• FU: smoke
• VA: volcanic ash (both phenomena indicate when visibility is less than or equal to 5,000 m);
• HZ: fog (less than or equal to 4,000 m)
• DU dust in suspension;
• SA: sand. You can also indicar fenómenos como remolinos de polvo o arena
• (PO): tornados
• (FC): tempestades de arena
• (SS) : polvo
• (DS): tormentas con aparato eléctrico
• (FEW): Nuves escasas
• scattered (SCT) Stratos
• (BKN): cielo quebradizo
• (OVT), overcast: cubierto
• CAVOK: Ful visibilidad
• NOSING: finalmente, hace referencia a nada significativo.
Espero que les Sirva a todos. Felices Vuelos y Feliz aterrizaje
