The template contains the information necessary to describe the structure of the data values embedded in the matching bit-stream. It is to be interpreted in a step-by-step, algorithm-like manner. Given a set of BUFR messages, the values contained in Section 4 may differ from one message to the next, but their ordering and structure will be kept ...
A typical METAR contains data for the airport identifier, time of observation, wind direction and speed, visibility, current weather phenomena such as precipitation, cloud cover and heights, temperature, dew point, and barometric pressure. This information forms the body of the report, consisting a maximum of 11 groups of information.
ICAO Meteorological Information Exchange Model (IWXXM) is a format for reporting weather information in XML/GML.IWXXM includes XML/GML-based representations for products standardized in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex III, such as METAR/SPECI, TAF, SIGMET, AIRMET, Tropical Cyclone Advisory (TCA), Volcanic Ash Advisory (VAA), [1] Space Weather Advisory and World Area ...
Data collected by land locations coding in METAR are conveyed worldwide via phone lines or wireless technology. Within many nations' meteorological organizations, this data is then plotted onto a weather map using the station model. A station model is a symbolic illustration showing the weather occurring at a given reporting station. [28]

In meteorology and aviation, terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF) is a format for reporting weather forecast information, [1] particularly as it relates to aviation.. TAFs complement and use similar encoding to METAR reports.
The archive is maintained by the Data Support Section of the Computational and Information Systems Laboratory] (CISL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. The archive acquires, curates, preserves and disseminates an extensive list of over 700 data sets. Registration is free and open to the general public.
This enables Synop, Metar, upperair and satellite data to be processed by a common computer system. The short wave radio transmission of Synop data was common in the 1980s from Bracknell or Paris but this is now redundant. Synop data is available as downloadable files from a number of internet sites including the College of DuPage. [6]
