Encode a METAR from a station observation
Reinforce FMH-1 / WMO order. The METAR is not transmitted until wind, visibility, weather, sky, temp/dewpoint, and altimeter are encoded in the required order.
- Encode wind from the sensors and the observer.
- Encode visibility.
- Encode present weather.
- Encode sky condition and ceiling.
- Encode temperature and dewpoint.
- Encode altimeter.
- Add remarks required for the observation.
- Transmit at the standard time.
- Do not send a METAR with elements in a random order or a guessed ceiling.
