Hourly Climate Messages (HCM), produced from automated systems such as ESAWS (Enhanced Synoptic Automatic Weather Station), SAMOS (Semi Automatic Meteorological Observing System) and CDL (Climate Data Logger), are transmitted in real time, and cover the period HH-70 to HH-10 (ten minutes to the previous hour of observation until ten minutes to the recorded hour of observation). The HCM message is transmitted from 171 UK stations, and 9 stations outside of the UK (3 in Germany, 1 in Gibraltar, 1 in Cyprus, 1 in St Helena, 1 in Paraguay, 1 in the Falkland Islands, and 1 in the Antarctic). The HCM message contains observed elements such as wind direction, wind speed, soil temperature, and global irradiation.",
