Data are extracted daily at around 00 UT for the previous day's coverage and delivered to the BADC at around 0200 UT.</p>\r\n<p>The dataset contains measurements of the following parameters:\r\n</p><li>Altimeter pressure</li>\r\n<li>Wind speed and wind direction</li>\r\n<li>Air temperature</li>\r\n<li>Vertical visibility and runway visual range</li>\r\n<li>Dew-point temperature</li>\r\n<li>cloud type and cloud height</li>\r\n<li>Present weather</li>\r\n<li>Maximum gust speed</li>\r\n<p />\r\n<p>Runway visual range may be reported from airfields. It is defined as the maximum distance in the direction of take-off or landing at which the runway, or specified lights or markers along the runway, can be seen from a point above its centre line. The height of this point is taken to be 5m above ground level, corresponding to the average eye-level of pilots at touchdown. The observation is usually made by personnel belonging to the airfield authorities such as the Fire Service. Where there are two runways, for instance as at Heathrow, two measurements may be reported.</p>\r\n<p>The air temperature and the dew point are both given to the nearest degree Celsius, and are recorded hourly.</p> \r\n<p>The cloud amount is denoted by the octare value (number from 1 to 8), and 9 signifies that the sky is obscured. It is measured daily at 0900 hours.</p>\r\n<p>The wind direction and wind speed values, which are reported hourly, are 10-minute averages taken between HH-20 an HH-10 (twenty minutes to the hour of recorded observation until ten minutes to the same hour). The wind direction is recorded to the nearest 10 degrees, and the wind speed to the nearest 1 knot. The maximum gust speed is also observed within the same time range (HH-20 until HH-10), and is recorded to the nearest knot.</p>\r\n<p>The cloud type and cloud height are summarised over three types: low medium and high, where the cloud height is given to the nearest metre.</p>\r\n<p>The altimeter pressure is recorded on an hourly basis to the nearest hectopascal.</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n", "modified": "2014-09-30", "ob_ref": 4427 }, { "id": 3680, "key": "observation.content.citation", "value": "<div property=\"cedacat:citation\">\r\n<div class=\"citation\">Citation</div>\r\nMet Office. <i>METAR reports, Part of the Met Office MetDB System</i>, [Internet].
