I've searched through all the lists I have but don't seem to be able
to find these:

snip list

If anyone could fill the gaps in that would be a great help.

Many thanks

Having done a web search on "Canada synoptic station", I found this:

https://www.wmo.int/cpdb/canada

Click on the link under "Observations" to "Surface and upper-air
stations (OSCAR/Surface)". Hopefully the list will include the stations
that you are missing.


Unfortunately that list seems to be split into 90 pages with only 10
stations per page! I subsequently found this list, which looks to be
more usable:

http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/stations.txt

However it doesn't seem to contain an entry for 71195, the first station
in your list, which suggests that the others might be missing too.

Ah, found an entry for 71195, in an online document that was originally
compiled in 1985, which makes me wonder if it's a station that is no
longer reporting:

https://repository.library.noaa.gov/...a_7089_DS1.pdf

71195 is at St Alban's Bay, Newfoundland, it turns out: 47 52N 55 51W

I assume that all your other missing stations will also be in this
document.

Thanks John for looking, I had found the all but the last link, but unfortunately 71195 is the only one...
