Globel Observations

Type of Output determines what is generated. Listing, METARs, and GIF Meteogram will obtain 24 hours of data for the selected station. The Hour is not used. Lastest Observations will get the latest observation available. All Observations and All METARs will get all the observations for the selected Hour for all the stations in the state of the selected station. (Last 3+ weeks)

METARs

Insert the station ID and number of observations desired. (US Weather Pages). (Last 30+ days)

METAR ARCHIVE

Insert the state, date, and time for a list of all reporting stations. (Last 8 years) (Plymouth State University)

METARs

And other text data including winds aloft by station ID for the last 72 hours (Florida State University).

METARs

Raw or decoded by station ID and other text data including winds aloft for the last 48 hours (Texas A&M).

Upper Air Reference Chart shows relationship of altitude, pressure and temperature.
METAR Reference Chart common abbreviations and key to decode METAR observation.
Density Altitude Chart this chart helps determine density altitude using pressure altitude and temperature.
