8.17.1 General Description

Beginning 1 July 1996, the United States undertook the

most significant change for observing, reporting, and

coding surface weather observations and terminal forecasts

in the past forty years. Not since the early 1950s, when the

present airways code (commonly known as Surface

Aviation Observation or SA code), and Terminal Forecast

(FT) codes were adopted, has there been such a major code

change for weather observations and forecasts.

On 1 July 1996, the international standard code

for hourly and special surface weather

observations, METAR/SPECI, took effect.

The METAR acronym roughly translates from the French

as Aviation Routine Weather Report . A special report,

SPECI, is merely a METAR formatted report which is

issued on a non-routine basis as dictated by changing

meteorological conditions.

The SPECI acronym roughly translates as Aviation Selected

Special Weather Report . Meanwhile, the international

standard code format for terminal forecasts issued for

airports, TAF , also took effect. The acronym translates to

Aerodrome Forecast .

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which

determines aviation requirements in the United States, has

determined that the domestic transition to the

METAR/TAF code is vital to the standardization of these

reports worldwide. The National Weather Service (NWS)

and Department of Defense (DOD) are complying with this

requirement.

The benefits of having the U.S. standardize to these new

code formats are as follows. Hourly and special

observations are used both as stand alone data for the sites
