Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone was familiar with what exactly is involved in over seeing a METAR station? From my understanding the only difference between ASOS/AWOS and a human oversight was the ability of the station to report clouds above 12,000 feet. Why is this so? Just curious, students have asked me and didn't really have an answer.
Thanks!
