    This allows airport operations to continue using a valid TAF. In rare situations where observations have been missing for extended periods of time (i.e., more than one TAF cycle of 6 hours) and the total observation concept cannot provide sufficient information, the TAF may be suspended by the use of NIL TAF.

    Such sources are called X-ray transients. The inner regions of some galaxies were also found to emit X-rays. The X-ray emission from these active galactic nuclei is believed to originate from ultra-relativistic gas near a very massive black hole at the galaxy's center. Lastly, a diffuse X-ray emission was found to exist all over the sky. [3]

    The World Meteorological Organization acts to standardize the instrumentation, observing practices and timing of these observations worldwide. Stations either report hourly in METAR reports, [36] or every six hours in SYNOP reports. [37] Sites launch radiosondes, which rise through the depth of the troposphere and well into the stratosphere. [38]

  7. Station model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_model

    Station models can have past weather plotted within them, which would be located just under the pressure tendency. They indicate the type of weather experienced during the past six hours. The weather types are limited to obstructions of visibility and precipitation. [5]

    The AWOS-C is the most up-to-date FAA owned AWOS facility and can generate METAR/SPECI formatted aviation weather reports. The AWOS-C is functionally equivalent to the ASOS. [4] FAA owned AWOS-C units in Alaska are typically classified as AWOS-C IIIP units while all other AWOS-C units are typically classified as AWOS III P/T units. [5]
