Weather - TAF - RMK
Hi,
I need explanation – after RMK KJFK 260951Z 00000KT 10SM FEW140 01/M01 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP224 T00111006 Thanks |
It's a METAR
A02: Automated observation with precipitation discriminator (rain/snow)
SLP: Sea Level Pressure T00111006: expanded temperature/dewpoint information (not used by pilots) |
Danyoren,
Many of these US / Canadian decodes are contained in the Thales (used to be "BA AERAD) supplement. Rgds, Otc |
Just to give you a more direct answer, :
SLP224 = qnh 1022.4 mb T00111006 = temp +1.1 celsius, dewpoint -0.6 celsius |
I'm probably being a bit pedantic (sorry) but I wouldn't go so far to say that the expanded temp/dew point info isn't used by pilots. I've often used it during flight to detect trends which might not be noticeable using just the whole numbers. It's a helpful tool regarding the potential for fog at your destination and/or alternate airports.
