302100Z SARS34 RUMS 302100

WMO analysis header

302100 is the time group

SARS34

is a apecific data format
TTAAii

where TT is product type, such as AB for weather text summaries, or SA for surface observations (METARs);

where AA is the region of the origin of the report, such as AK for Alaska, or US for the United States;

and where ii is the report number.

So we have SA (surface observation for Aviation routine reports) RS is the region Russia(west) and 34 is the report number.

where CCCC is the 4 letter station identifier of the source of the report; such as KDSM for Des Moines, IA or KDEN for Denver, Colorado.
