The SYNOP message contains observed elements such as weather, cloud, temperature, humidity, wind, visibility, and pressure.\r\n\r\nIn order for a SYNOP message to be transmitted by an observation station, specific instruments are required to perform to certain standards. These include an anemometer, thermometer, station observer, sunshine recorder, visiometer, barometer, hygrometer, and raingauge. SYNOP messages are typically sent every six hours on shortwave using radioteletype (RTTY) and consist of groups of numbers (and slashes where data are not available). The message is decoded and the relevant parameters are stored in the MIDAS dataset and in the MetDB systems at the Met Office."

                "abstract": "Observation stations within the NCM (National Climate Message) station network transmit their observations in the form of a NCM message. National Climate Messages (NCM), produced from all Met Office and many auxiliary stations, are transmitted at the nominal time of 0900 each day and most stations also send an abbreviated message at 2100. The periods of the observations start and end at 10 minutes to the main hour, i.e. HH-10. The NCM message is transmitted from many UK stations, and a few stations outside of the UK (The Falkland Islands, Germany, Antarctica, and Paraguay). The NCM message contains observed elements such as grass minimum temperature, concrete minimum temperature, rainfall accumulation, and depth of fresh snow."

Electrical Resistance Thermometers (ERT or PRT), liquid-in-glass thermometers, wet bulb thermometers and Climate Data Loggers (CDL) are used by observation stations worldwide before data is used by the Met Office and later accumulated in the MIDAS dataset.\r\n\r\nLinked documentation:\r\nThe Met Office Fact-sheet #17 – Weather Observations on Land (see linked documentation) describes the instrumentation further and includes diagrams of the apparatus set-up. For more information on which instruments are used to collect measurements within specific station networks, the Met Office Surface Data Users Guide, describes the meteorological surface data and how it is obtained in the Met Office Database - MIDAS."
