Surface Observation Samples
US and World Metar Surface Observations: Surface
observations for the entire world are taken every hour
including "special" intermediate observations. Choose from
the latest observation or archived observations. Available in three
formats:
Raw: Surface observations
in an unaltered, raw form shown exactly as transmitted from the
observation site.
Example:
KMIA 012256Z 05014G18KT 10SM BKN040 BKN150 BKN250 18/10 A3040
RMK AO2 SLP293 T01830100= Decoded:
Surface observations in an convenient decoded format.

Graphical:
Using the
AccuWeather Advanced Map Plotting SystemTM (AMPSTM),
you can choose to
plot and/or contour surface observations on a map base covering any desired area. An
example of a "standard station model plot" of hourly surface data for Pennsylvania and the surrounding area
with contoured pressure is below. 
US
and World Synoptic Surface Observations:
Synoptic surface
observations from North America and the entire world are taken every
3 or 6 hours. Choose from the latest observation or archived
observations. Available in two formats:
Raw:
Synoptic surface observations in an unaltered, raw form shown
exactly as transmitted from the observation site.
Example:
