• Description:
  The fifth edition of Federal Meteorological Handbook No. 1 (FMH-1), "Surface Weather Observations and Reports" embodies the United States conversion to the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) Aviation Routine Weather Report/Aviation Selected Special Weather (METAR/SPECI') code formats. The U.S. implementation of METAR, as the national reporting code for surface weather observations, is a major step toward fulfilling a WMO and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) goal of a common, world-wide aviation weather observation code form.
