Hi,

I have a question about CPH Metar:

EKCH 101820Z 11006KT 9999 FEW025 BKN047 M02/M04 Q1016 R04L/720371 R04R/710279 R12/720367 NOSIG

What do those last numbers mean?

Thanks.

It's the Friction Coefficient. 71 = 0.71 76 = 0.76 67 = 0.67

Braking Action is good.

CEJM, thanks for your reply.

Any idea where I can find this information?

I have a braking action table but the codes are completely different - from 91 (poor) to 95 (good).

Rgds.

found this decode page:

METAR runway state group coding (http://www.flyingineurope.be/MetarRunway.htm)

NB: it can be expressed in Friction coefficient OR in Braking action
