METAR / SYNOP quiz question
Answer me this !!
A snippet from a METAR from LBFM in France last Monday: METAR LFBO 241200Z 29039G56KT So, gusting 56 knots, which I assume to be strongest gust in the last 10 mins. The 1200 SYNOP from the same location: AAXX 24124 07630 01464 82938 10080 20036 39725 49912 53056 60031 76162 878// 333 60017 81810 83626 87650 91060 90710 91164 93100 555 69945 91164 and 91060 are what I'm interested to compare with the METAR output: So, 64 knot gust in the last hour and a 60 knot gust in the last 10 minutes, if I've got it read right. So, if it's in the last 10 minutes, why doesn't it match up to the METAR gust of 56 knots? Answers on a postcard please ! I have an idea, but I'd like to see what anyone else thinks. Richard |
