NOTE: Guidance on the subject is contained in the Manual on Low-level Wind Shear (Doc 9817). Wind shear alerts are expected to complement wind shear warnings and together are intended to enhance situational awareness of wind shear. 7.4.1 Wind shear warnings shall be prepared by the meteorological office designated by the meteorological authority concerned for aerodromes where wind shear is considered a factor, in accordance with local arrangements with the appropriate ATS unit and operators concerned. Wind shear warnings shall give concise information on the observed or expected existence of wind shear which could adversely affect aircraft on the approach path or take-off path or during circling approach between runway level and 500m (1600ft) above that level and aircraft on the runway during the landing roll or take-off run. Where local topography has been shown to produce sig-
nificant wind shears at heights in excess of 500m (1600ft) above runway level, then 500m (1600ft) shall not be considered restrictive. 7.4.2 Recommendation – Wind shear warnings for arriving aircraft and/or departing aircraft should be cancelled when aircraft reports indicate that wind shear no longer exists or, alternatively, after an agreed elapsed time. The criteria for the cancellation of a wind shear warning should be defined locally for each aerodrome, as agreed between the meteorological authority, the appropriate ATS authority and the operators concerned. 7.4.3 At aerodromes where wind shear is detected by automated, ground-based, wind shear remote-sensing or detection equipment, wind shear alerts generated by these systems shall be issued. Wind shear alerts shall give concise, up-to-date information related to the observed existence of wind shear involving a headwind/tailwind change of 30km/h (15kt) or more which could adversely affect aircraft on the final approach path or initial take-off path and aircraft on the runway during the landing roll or take-off run. 7.4.4 Recommendation – Wind shear alerts should be updated at least every minute. The wind shear alert should be cancelled as soon as the headwind/tailwind change falls below 30km/h (15kt).

Wind arrows indicate the maximum wind in jet and the flight level at which it occurs. If the maximum wind speed is 240 km/h (120 kt) or more, the flight levels between which winds are greater than 160 km/h (80 kt) is placed below the maximum wind level. In the example, winds are greater than 160 km/h (80 kt) between FL 220 and FL 400. The heavy line delineating the jet axis begins/ends at the points where a wind speed of 160 km/h (80 kt) is forecast. 1
This symbol refers to widespread surface wind speeds exceeding 60 km/h (30 kt).

HEIGHTS
Heights are indicated on SWH and SWM charts in flight levels (FL), top over base.
When XXX is used, tops or bases are outside the layer of the atmosphere to which the chart applies.
In SWL charts: a. Heights are indicated as altitudes above mean sea level; b. The abbreviation SFC is used to indicate ground level.

DEPICTING OF LINES AND SYSTEMS ON SPECIFIC CHARTS SWH AND SWM — SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CHARTS (HIGH AND MEDIUM)
Scalloped line Heavy broken line Heavy solid line interrupted by wind arrow and flight level Figures on arrows Flight levels inside small rectangles
4.2
= demarcation of areas of significant weather = delineation of area of CAT = position of jet stream axis with indication of wind direction, speed in kt or km/h and height in flight levels. The vertical extent of the jet stream is indicated (in flight levels), e.g. FL270 accompanied by 240/290 indicates that the jet extends from FL240 to FL290. = speed in kt or km/h of movement of frontal system = height in flight levels of tropopause at spot locations; e.g., . Low and High points of the tropopause topography are indicated by the letters L or H respectively inside a pentagon with the height in flight levels. Display explicit FL for JET dephts and tropopause height even if outside forecast bounds. 1145640356000

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR NAVIGATION / AIRCRAFT OBSERVATIONS - ANNEX 3 Section 3 (Meteorological information): Condition prompting the issuance of a special air-report, to be slelected from the list presented in Tabe A4-2 NOTE 1: Air-reports are considered routine by default. The message type designator for special air-reports is specified in the PANS-ATM (Doc 4444), Appendix 1. NOTE 2: In the case of a special air-report of pre-eruption volcanic activity, volcanic eruption or volcanic ash cloud, additional requirements are indicated in 4.2.
2. CRITERIA FOR REPORTING 2.1 When air-ground data link is used, the wind direction, wind speed, wind quality flag, temperature, turbulence and humidity included in air-reports shall be reported in accordance with the following criteria.
2.2
WIND DIRECTION
The wind direction shall be reported in terms of degrees true, rounded to the nearest whole degree.
2.3
WIND SPEED
The wind speed shall be reported in kilometres per hour or knots, rounded to the nearest 2 km/h (1 knot). The units used shall be indicated.
2.4
WIND QUALITY FLAG
The wind quality flag shall be reported as 0 when the roll angle is less than 5 degrees and as 1 when the roll angle is 5 degrees or more.
2.5
TEMPERATURE
The temperature shall be reported to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius.
2.6
TURBULENCE
The turbulence shall be reported in terms of the cube root of the eddy dissipation rate (EDR). 2.6.1 Routine air-reports The turbulence shall be reported during the en-route phase of the flight and shall refer to the 15-minute period immediately preceding the observation. Both
the average and peak value of turbulence, together with the time of occurrence of the peak value to the nearest minute, shall be observed. The average and peak values shall be reported in terms of the cube root of EDR. The time of occurrence of the peak value shall be reported as indicated in Table A4-1. The turbulence shall be reported during the climb-out phase for the first 10 minutes of the flight and shall refer to the 30-second period immediately preceding the observation. The peak value of turbulence shall be observed. 2.6.2 Interpretation of the turbulence report Turbulence shall be considered: a. severe when the peak value of the cube root of EDR exceeds 0.7; b. moderate when the peak value of the cube root of EDR is above 0.4 and below or equal to 0.7; c. light when the peak value of the cube root of EDR is above 0.1 and below or equal 0.4; d. nil when the peak value of the cube root of EDR is below or equal to 0.1. NOTE: The EDR is an aircraft-independent measure of turbulence. However, the relationship between the EDR value and the perception of turbulence is a function of aircraft type, and the mass, altitude, configuration and airspeed of the aircraft. The EDR values given above describe the severity levels for a medium-sized transport aircraft under typical en-route conditions (i.e. altitude, airspeed and weight). 2.6.3 Special air-reports Special air-reports on turbulence shall be made during any phase of the flight whenever the peak value of the cube root of EDR exceeds 0.7. The special air-report on turbulence shall be made with reference to the 1 minute period immediately preceding the observation. Both the average and peak value of turbulence shall be observed. The average and peak values shall be reported in terms of the cube root of EDR. Special air-reports shall be issued every minute until such time as the peak values of the cube root of EDR fall below 0.7.

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC / FORECAST - ANNEX 3 Appendix 5. Technical Specifications related to forecasts (See Chapter 6 of this Annex.)
1. CRITERIA RELATED TO TAF 1.1
TAF FORMAT
1.1.1 TAF shall be issued in accordance with the template shown in Table A5-1 and disseminated in the TAF code form prescribed by the World Meteorological Organization. NOTE: The TAF code form is contained in WMO Publication No. 306, Manual on Codes, Volume I.1, Part A - Alphanumeric Codes. 1.1.2 Recommendation - TAF should be disseminated, under bilateral agreements between States in a position to do so, in the WMO BUFR code form, in addition to the dissemination of the TAF in accordance with 1.1.1. NOTE: The BUFR code form is contained in WMO Publication No. 306, Manual on Codes, Volume I.2, Part B - Binary Codes.
1.2
INCLUSION OF METEOROLOGICAL ELEMENTS IN TAF
NOTE: Guidance on operationally desirable accuracy of forecasts is given in Attachment B. 1.2.1 Surface wind Recommendation. - In forecasting surface wind, the expected prevailing direction should be given. When it is not possible to forecast a prevailing surface wind direction due to its expected variability, for example, during light wind conditions (less than 6 km/h (3 kt) or thunderstorms, the forecast wind direction should be indicated as variable using “VRB”. When the wind is forecast to be less than 2 km/h (1 kt) the forecast wind speed should be indicated as calm. When the forecast maximum speed (gust) exceeds the forecast mean wind speed by 20 km/h (10kt) or more, the forecast maximum wind speed should be indicated. When a wind speed of 200 km/h (100kt) or more is forecast, it should be indicated to be more than 199 km/h (99kt). 1.2.2 Visibility Recommendation. - When the visibility is forecast to be less than 800 m it should be expressed in steps of 50 m; when it is forecast to be 800 m or more but less than 5 km, in steps of 100 m; 5 km or more but less than 10 km in kilometre steps and when it is forecast to be 10 km, or more it should be expressed as 10 km, except when conditions of CAVOK are forecast to apply. The prevailing visibility should be forecast. When visibility is forecast to vary in different directions and the prevailing visibility cannot be forecast, the lowest forecast visibility should be given. 1.2.3 Weather phenomena Recommendation. - One or more, up to a maximum of three, of the following weather phenomena or combinations thereof together with their characteristics and, where appropriate, intensity should be forecast if they are expected to occur at the aerodrome: – freezing precipitation – freezing fog
– moderate or heavy precipitation (including showers thereof) – low drifting dust, sand or snow – blowing dust, sand or snow – duststorm – sandstorm – thunderstorm (with or without precipitation) – squall – funnel cloud (tornado or waterspout) – other weather phenomena given in Appendix 3, 4.4.2.3 only if they are expected to cause a significant change in visibility. The expected end of occurrence of those phenomena should be indicated by the abbreviation “NSW”. 1.2.4 Cloud Recommendation. - Cloud amount should be forecast using the abbreviations “FEW”, “SCT“, “BKN” or “OVC” as necessary. When it is expected that the sky will remain or become obscured and clouds cannot be forecast and information on vertical visibility is available at the aerodrome, the vertical visibility should be forecast in the form “VV” followed by the forecast value of the vertical visibility. When several layers or masses of cloud are forecast, their amount and height of base should be included in the following order: a) the lowest layer or mass regardless of amount, to be forecast as FEW, SCT, BKN or OVC as appropriate; b) the next layer or mass covering more than 2/8, to be forecast as SCT, BKN or OVC as appropriate; c) the next higher layer or mass covering more than 4/8, to be forecast as BKN or OVC as appropriate; and d) cumulonimbus clouds, whenever forecast and not already included under a) to c). Cloud information should be limited to cloud of operational significance, when no cloud of operational significance is forecast, and "CAVOK" is not appropriate, the abbreviation "NSC" should be used. 1.2.5 Temperature Recommendation. - When forecast temperatures are included in accordance with regional air navigation agreement, the maximum and minimum temperatures expected to occur during the period of validity of the TAF should be given, together with their corresponding times of occurrence.
1.3
USE OF CHANGE GROUPS
1.3.1 Recommendation. - The criteria used for the inclusion of change groups in TAF or for the amendment of TAF should be based on the following: a. when the mean surface wind direction is forecast to change by 60° or more, the mean speed before and/or after the change being 20 km/h (10 kt) or more; b. when the mean surface wind speed is forecast to change by 20 km/h (10 kt) or more;

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC / FORECAST - ANNEX 3 c. when the variation from the mean surface wind speed (gusts) is forecast to increase by 20 km/h (10 kt) or more, the mean speed before and/or after the change being 30 km/h (15 kt) or more; d. when the surface wind is forecast to change through values of operational significance. The threshold values should be established by the meteorological authority in consultation with the appropriate ATS authority and operators concerned, taking into account changes in the wind which would: 1. require a change in runway(s) in use; and 2. indicate that the runway tailwind and crosswind components will change through values representing the main operating limits for typical aircraft operating at the aerodrome; e. when the visibility is forecast to improve and change to or pass through one or more of the following values, or when the visibility is forecast to deteriorate and pass through one or more of the following values: 1. 150, 350, 600, 800, 1500 or 3000 m; or 2. 5000 m in cases where significant numbers of flights are operated in accordance with the visual flight rules; f. when any of the following weather phenomena or combinations thereof are forecast to begin or end or change in intensity: – freezing precipitation – moderate or heavy precipitation (including showers thereof) – thunderstorm (with precipitation) – duststorm – sandstorm g. when any of the following weather phenomena or combinations thereof are forecast to begin or end: – ice crystals – freezing fog – low drifting dust, sand or snow – blowing dust, sand or snow – thunderstorm (without precipitation) – squall – funnel cloud (tornado or waterspout); h. when the height of base of the lowest layer or mass of cloud of BKN or OVC extent is forecast to lift and change to or pass through one or more of the following values, or when the height of the lowest layer or mass of cloud of BKN or OVC extent is forecast to lower and pass through one or more of the following values: 1. 30, 60, 150 or 300 m (100, 200, 500 or 1000 ft); or 2. 450 m (1500 ft), in cases where significant numbers of flights are operated in accordance with the visual flight rules; i. when the amount of a layer or mass of cloud below 450 m (1500 ft) is forecast to change:
1. from NSC, FEW or SCT to BKN or OVC; or 2. from BKN or OVC to NSC, FEW or SCT; j. when the vertical visibility is forecast to improve and change to or pass through one or more of the following values, or when the vertical visibility is forecast to deteriorate and pass through one or more of the following values: 30, 60, 150 or 300 m (100, 200, 500 or 1000 ft); and k. any other criteria based on local aerodrome operating minima, as agreed between the meteorological authority and the operators. 1.3.2 Recommendation. - When a change in any of the elements given in Chapter 6, 6.2.3 is required to be indicated in accordance with the criteria given in 1.3.1, the change indicators “BECMG” or “TEMPO” should be used followed by the time period during which the change is expected to occur. The time period should be indicated as the beginning and end of the period in whole hours UTC. Only those elements for which a significant change is expected should be included following a change indicator. However, in the case of significant changes in respect of cloud, all cloud groups, including layers or masses not expected to change, should be indicated. 1.3.3 Recommendation. - The change indicator “BECMG” and the associated time group should be used to describe changes where the meteorological conditions are expected to reach or pass through specified threshold values at a regular or irregular rate and at an unspecified time during the time period. The time period should normally not exceed 2 hours but in any case should not exceed 4 hours. 1.3.4 Recommendation. - The change indicator “TEMPO” and the associated time group should be used to describe expected frequent or infrequent temporary fluctuations in the meteorological conditions which reach or pass specified threshold values and last for a period of less than one hour in each instance and, in the aggregate, cover less than one-half of the forecast period during which the fluctuations are expected to occur. If the temporary fluctuation is expected to last one hour or longer, the change group “BECMG” should be used in accordance with 1.3.3 or the validity period should be subdivided in accordance with 1.3.5. 1.3.5 Recommendation. - Where one set of prevailing weather conditions is expected to change significantly and more or less completely to a different set of conditions, the period of validity should be subdivided into self-contained periods using the abbreviation “FM” followed immediately by a four-figure time group in whole hours and minutes UTC indicating the time the change is expected to occur. The subdivided period following the abbreviation “FM” should be self-contained and all forecast conditions given before the abbreviation should be superseded by those following the abbreviation.

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC / FORECAST - ANNEX 3 1.4
USE OF PROBABILITY GROUPS
Recommendation. - The probability of occurrence of an alternative value of a forecast element or elements should be indicated, as necessary, by use of the abbreviation “PROB” followed by the probability in tens of per cent and the time period during which the alternative value(s) is (are) expected to apply. The probability information should be placed after the element or elements forecast and be followed by the alternative value of the element or elements. The probability of a forecast of temporary fluctuations in meteorological conditions should be indicated, as necessary, by use of the abbreviation “PROB” followed by the probability in tens of per cent, placed before the change indicator “TEMPO” and associated time group. A probability of an alternative value or change of less than 30 per cent should not be considered sufficiently significant to be indicated. A probability of an alternative value or change of 50 per cent or more, for aviation purposes, should not be considered a probability but instead should be indicated, as necessary, by use of the change indicators “BECMG” or “TEMPO” or by subdivision of the validity period using the abbreviation “FM”. The probability group should not be used to qualify the change indicator “BECMG” nor the time indicator “FM”.
1.5
NUMBERS OF CHANGE AND PROBABILITY GROUPS
Recommendation. - The number of change and probability groups should be kept to a minimum and should not normally exceed five groups.
1.6

The period during which, or the time at which, the change is forecast to occur shall be indicated, using the abbreviations “FM”, “TL”, or “AT”, as appropriate, each followed by a time group in hours and minutes. When the change is forecast to begin and end wholly within the trend forecast period, the beginning and end of the change shall be indicated by using the
abbreviations “FM” and “TL”, respectively, with their associated time groups. When the change is forecast to commence at the beginning of the trend forecast period but be completed before the end of that period, the abbreviation “FM” and its associated time group shall be omitted and only “TL” and its associated time group shall be used. When the change is forecast to begin during the trend forecast period and be completed at the end of that period, the abbreviation ”TL” and its associated time group shall be omitted and only “FM” and its associated time group shall be used. When the change is forecast to occur at a specified time during the trend forecast period, the abbreviation “AT” followed by its associated time group shall be used. When the change is forecast to commence at the beginning of the trend forecast period and be completed by the end of that period or when the change is forecast to occur within the trend forecast period but the time is uncertain, the abbreviations “FM”, “TL” or “AT” and their associated time groups shall be omitted and the change indicator “BECMG” shall be used alone. 2.3.3 The change indicator “TEMPO” shall be used to describe forecast temporary fluctuations in the meteorological conditions which reach or pass specified values and last for a period of less than one hour in each instance and, in the aggregate, cover less than one-half of the period during which the fluctuations are forecast to occur. The period during which the temporary fluctuations are forecast to occur shall be indicated, using the abbreviations “FM” and/or “TL”, as appropriate, each followed by a time group in hours and minutes. When the period of temporary fluctuations in the meteorological conditions is forecast to begin and end wholly within the trend forecast period, the beginning and end of the period of temporary fluctuations shall be indicated by using the abbreviations “FM” and “TL”, respectively, with their associated time groups. When the period of temporary fluctuations is forecast to commence at the beginning of the trend forecast period but cease before the end of that period, the abbreviation “FM” and its associated time group shall be omitted and only “TL” and its associated time group shall be used. When the period of temporary fluctuations is forecast to begin during the trend forecast period and cease by the end of that period, the abbreviation “TL” and its associated time group shall be omitted and only “FM” and its associated time group shall be used. When the period of temporary fluctuations is forecast to commence at the beginning of the trend forecast period and cease by the end of that period, both abbreviations “FM” and “TL” and their associated time groups shall be omitted and the change indicator “TEMPO” shall be used alone.

3. CRITERIA RELATED TO FORECASTS FOR TAKE-OFF 3.1
FORMAT OF FORECASTS FOR TAKE-OFF
Recommendation. - The format of the forecast should be as agreed between the meteorological authority and the operator concerned. The order of the elements and the terminology, units and scales used in forecasts for take-off should be the same as those used in reports for the same aerodrome.
3.2
AMENDMENTS TO FORECASTS FOR TAKE-OFF
Recommendation. - The criteria for the issuance of amendments for forecasts for take-off for surface wind direction and speed, temperature and pressure and any other elements agreed locally should be agreed between the meteorological authority and the operators concerned. The criteria should be consistent with the corresponding criteria for special reports established for the aerodrome in accordance with Appendix 3, 2.3.1.
4. CRITERIA RELATED TO AREA FORECASTS FOR LOW-LEVEL FLIGHTS 4.1
FORMAT AND CONTENT OF GAMET AREA FORECASTS
When prepared in GAMET format, area forecasts shall contain two sections: Section I related to information on en-route weather phenomena hazardous to low-level flights, prepared in support of the issuance of AIRMET information, and Section II related to additional information required by low-level flights. The content and order of elements in a GAMET area forecast, when prepared, shall be in accordance with the template shown in Table A5-4. Additional elements in Section II shall be included in accordance with regional air navigation agreement. Elements which are already covered by a SIGMET message shall be omitted from GAMET area forecasts.

NOTE: Specifications regarding the issuance of AIRMET information amending the area forecast in respect of weather phenomena hazardous for low-level flights are given in Appendix 6.
4.3
CONTENT OF AREA FORECASTS FOR LOW-LEVEL FLIGHTS IN CHART FORM
4.3.1 When chart form is used for area forecasts for low-level flights, the forecast of upper wind and upper-air temperature shall be issued for points separated by no more than 500km (300NM) and for at least the following altitudes: 600, 1500 and 3000m (2000, 5000 and 10000ft), and 4500m (15000ft) in mountainous areas. 4.3.2 When chart form is used for area forecasts for low-level flights, the forecast of SIGWX phenomena shall be issued as low-level SIGWX forecast for flight levels up to 100 (or up to flight level 150 in mountainous areas, or higher, where necessary). Low-level SIGWX forecasts shall include the following items: a. the phenomena warranting the issuance of a SIGMET as given in Appendix 6 and which are expected to affect low-level flights; and b. the elements in area forecasts for low-level flights as given in Table A5-4 except elements concerning: 1. upper winds and temperatures; and 2. forecast QNH. NOTE: Guidance on the use of terms "ISOL", "OCNL" and "FRQ" referring to cumulonimbus and towering cumulus clouds, and thunderstorms is given in Appendix 6.
4.4
EXCHANGE OF AREA FORECASTS FOR LOW-LEVEL FLIGHTS
Area forecasts for low-level flights prepared in support of the issuance of AIRMET information shall be exchanged between meteorological offices responsible for the issuance of flight documentation for low-level flights in the flight information regions concerned.
AMENDMENTS TO GAMET AREA FORECASTS
When a weather phenomenon hazardous to low-level flights has been included in the GAMET area forecast and the phenomenon forecast does not occur, or is no longer forecast, a GAMET AMD shall be issued, amending only the weather element concerned. Table A5-1. Template for TAF Key:

5.2
QUANTITATIVE CRITERIA FOR AERODROME WARNINGS
Recommendation. - When quantitative criteria are necessary for the issue of aerodrome warnings covering, for example, the expected maximum wind speed or the expected total snowfall, the criteria should be established by agreement between the meteorological office and the users of the warnings.
6. SPECIFICATIONS RELATED TO WIND SHEAR WARNINGS 6.1
DETECTION OF WIND SHEAR
Recommendation - Evidence of the existence of wind shear should be derived from: a) ground-based wind shear remote-sensing equipment, for example, Doppler radar; b) ground-based wind shear detection equipment, for example, a system of surface wind and/or pressure sensors located in an array monitoring a specific runway or runways and associated approach and departure paths; c) aircraft observations during the climb-out or approach phases of flight to be made in accordance with Chapter 5; or d) other meteorological information, for example, from appropriate sensors located on existing masts or towers in the vicinity of the aerodrome or nearby areas of high ground. NOTE: Wind shear conditions are normally associated with the following phenomena: – thunderstorms, microbursts, funnel cloud (tornado or waterspout), and gust fronts – frontal surfaces – strong surface winds coupled with local topography – sea breeze fronts – mountain waves (including low-level rotors in the terminal area) – low-level temperature inversions.
6.2

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC / SIGMET, AIRMET, WSW - ANNEX 3 6.2.4 Recommendation. - When an aircraft report is used to prepare a wind shear warning, or to confirm a warning previously issued, the corresponding aircraft report, including the aircraft type, should be disseminated unchanged in accordance with local arrangements to those concerned. NOTE 1: Following reported encounters by both arriving and departing aircraft two different wind shear warnings may exist, one for arriving aircraft and one for departing aircraft. NOTE 2: Specifications for reporting the intensity of wind shear are still undergoing development. It is recognized, however, that pilots, when reporting wind shear, may use the qualifying terms "moderate", "strong" or "severe", based to a large extent on their subjective assessment of the intensity of the wind shear encountered.
Key:
6.2.5 The wind shear alerts shall be disseminated from automated, ground-based, wind shear remote-sensing or detection equipment in accordance with local arrangements to those concerned. 6.2.6 Recommendation. - Where microbursts are observed, reported by pilots or detected by ground-based, wind shear detection or remote-sensing equipment, the wind shear warning and wind shear alert should include a specific reference to microburst. 6.2.7 Where information from ground-based wind shear detection or remote-sensing equipment is used to prepare a wind shear warning, the warning should, if practicable, relate to specific sections of the runway and distances along the approach path or take-off path as agreed between the meteorological authority, the appropriate ATS authority and the operators concerned.

DECODE OF EIGHT FIGURE GROUP APPENDED TO MOTNE/OPMET BROADCASTS
DECODE OF EIGHT FIGURE GROUP APPENDED TO MOTNE/OPMET BROADCASTS The first two digits indicate the Runway Designator. The third digit indicates the Runway Deposits. The fourth digit indicates the extent of runway contamination. The fifth and sixth digits indicate the depth of deposit. The seventh and eighth digits indicate the friction co-efficient or Braking Action.
RUNWAY DESIGNATOR (FIRST AND SECOND DIGITS) The two digits correspond to the runway designator (e.g. 09, 27 etc.). In the case of parallel runways, the ‘Left” runway is indicated by the designator only (e.g. 09L as 09) while the “Right” runway has 50 added so that 09R becomes 59 and 27R becomes 77. Whenever all runways are affected the figure group 88 will be used. NOTE: 99 may sometimes appear as the first two digits. This does not purport to be a runway indicator but means that the information is a repetition of the last message because no new message has been received in time for transmission.
RUNWAY DEPOSITS (THIRD DIGIT) The runway deposit expressed as a single figure as follows: 0 — Clear and dry 1 — Damp 2 — Wet or water patches 3 — Rime of frost covered (Depth normally less than 1mm) 4 — Dry snow 5 — Wet snow 6 — Slush 7 — Ice 8 — Compacted or rolled snow 9 — Frozen ruts or ridges / — Type of deposit not reported (e.g., due to runway clearance in progress).
EXTENT OF RUNWAY CONTAMINATION (FOURTH DIGIT) The extent of runway contamination is expressed as a single digit in accordance with the following scale: 1 — Less than 10% of runway contaminated (covered) 2 — 11% to 25% of runway contaminated (covered) 5 — 26% to 50% of runway contaminated (covered) 9 — 51% to 100% of runway contaminated (covered) / — not reported (e.g., due to runway clearance in progress).
DEPTH OF DEPOSIT (FIFTH AND SIXTH DIGITS) The depth of deposit is indicated by two digits in accordance with the following scale:
00 less than 1mm 01 = 1 mm 02 = 2 mm etc. 10 = 10 mm etc. 15 = 15 mm etc. 20 = 20 mm etc. up to 90 = 90 mm NOTE: Code 91 is not used. Thereafter, the depth is indicated by: 92 = 10 cm 93 = 15 cm 94 = 20 cm 95 = 25 cm 96 = 30 cm 97 = 35 cm 98 = 40 cm or more 99 = runway or runways non-operational due to snow, slush, ice, large drifts or runway clearance, but depth not reported. // = Depth of deposit operationally not significant or not measurable. The quoted depth is the mean of a number of readings or, if operationally significant, the greatest depth measured.
FRICTION CO-EFFICIENT OR BRAKING ACTION (SEVENTH AND EIGHTH DIGITS) The friction co-efficient is denoted by two digits or, if the co-efficient is not available, the braking action is denoted by two digits. a. Friction co-efficient EXAMPLE: 28 - friction co-eficient 0.28 35 - friction co-efficien 0.35 etc. b. Braking action 95 = Good 94 = Medium / Good 93 = Medium 92 = Medium / Poor 91 = Poor 99 = Unreliable // = Braking action not reported; Runway not operational, Aerodrome closed; etc. NOTE 1: Where Braking Action is assessed at a number of points along a runway, the mean value will be transmitted or, if operationally significant, the lowest value. NOTE 2: If measuring equipment does not allow measurement of friction with satisfactory reliability, which may be the case when a runway is contaminated by wet snow, slush, or loose snow, the figures 99 will be used.

In this case, the previous runway state report will be repeated, as indicated by the figures 99 in place of the runway designator. 99421594 — Dry snow covering 11% to 25 % ot the runway: depth 15 mm; braking action medium to good. 14//99// — Runway 14 non-operational due to runway clearance in progress. 14////// — Runway 14 contaminated but reports are not available or are not updated due to aerodrome closure or curfew, etc. 88////// — All runways are contaminated but reports are not available or are not updated due to aerodrome closure or curfew, etc. 14CLRD// — Runway 14 contamination has ceased to exist.

When the visibility is 10Km or more, the exact visibility is reported in steps of 1Km up to 30Km and in steps of 5Km above 30Km.
In meteorological bulletins provided by the MET service for Spa and St. Hubert, the wind value is the average over a period of 10 minutes. A repetitor in the bulletin indicates the present wind value.
RVR-mean values, -extreme values and -tendency are reported at Vienna and Salzburg airports only. If deposit of rime is observed the description FZ is used in combination with abbreviations BCFG, PRFG and BR too. Additional condition for use of the term CAVOK: no TCU. When the term CAVOK is used in reports in abbreviated plain language, visibility, present weather and clouds are reported in brackets. For routine reports from aeronautical stations not located at international airports the following applies: –
Instead of the ICAO location indicator the station index number (IIiii) is used by stations not located at an aerodrome.
RVR calculations are based on the maximum intensity of the runway lights.
FRANCE The following aerodromes use a cloud base other than 1500m (5000ft) as criterion in defining CAVOK (i.e., no clouds below the listed height). Aerodrome

SPECI
GEOGRAPHICAL AND MAGNETIC WIND DIRECTION
Following abbreviations have been adopted at London (Heathrow) and Belfast (Aldergrove) for use in their Windshear Alerting Service.
All airports east of Tromso have a significant deviation in wind direction between geographical North and magnetic North.
a. “Windshear Forecast” (WSF)-when the meteorological conditions indicate that low level windshear on the approach or climb-out (below 2000ft) may be encountered.
In spoken communication from ATS, inclusive ATIS, the magnetic wind direction is stated. In written communication, METAR, SPECI, TAF, the geographical wind direction is given. Thus, a deviation in wind direction stated orally from ATS, inclusive ATIS, and the wind direction given on METAR, exist for the following airports in the Northeastern part of Norway: Alta, ENAT: 8°E
b. “Windshear Forecast and Reported” (WSRF)-as above, supported by a report from at least one aircraft of windshear on the approach or climbout within the last hour. c. “Windshear Reported” (WSR)-when an aircraft has reported on the approach or climb-out within the last hour, but insufficient meteorological evidence exists for the issue of a forecast of windshear.
Berlevag, ENBV: 12°E Batsfjord, ENBS: 12°E Hammerfest, ENHF: 9°E Hasvik, ENHK: 8°E Honningsvag, ENHV: 10°E Kirkenes/Hoybuktmoen, ENKR: 12°E Lakselv/Banak, ENNA: 9°E Mehamn, ENMH: 11°E Sorkjosen, ENSR: 7°E Vadso, ENVD: 12°E Vardo/Svartnes, ENSS: 12°E
SWEDEN SIGMET information is not issued concerning en-route weather phenomena at transonic levels and supersonic cruising levels. Due to limited capacity for maintaining a continuous survey of wind shear conditions, wind shear warnings are not issued. Information on the observed occurrence of wind shear at an aerodrome is included in routine observations and reports issued at the aerodrome. SPECI is not issued in Sweden.
