7.2.3.1 Minimum Observational Requirements for Routine TAF Issuance and a Continuation The NWS WFO forecaster must have certain information for the preparation and scheduled issuance of each individual TAF. Observations or other complementary and/or supplementary data sources must include, at a minimum:

Wind (speed and direction) Visibility Weather and obstructions to vision Sky condition Temperature Dewpoint Altimeter setting

All weather elements need not be provided completely and/or at all times in the hourly/special observation itself. Alternative methods of obtaining the required weather elements can be utilized, at the discretion of the forecaster, in order to continue providing TAFs. However, in the event the forecaster believes the absence of one or more observed elements will lead to a degradation of the quality of the TAF, the TAF is limited (e.g., NIL AMD, indicating no amendments will be provided) or suspended (NIL).

Once a particular TAF has been suspended (NIL), a delayed or scheduled TAF for that airport is not issued until two consecutive observations not less than 30 minutes nor more than about one

(1) hour apart have been received to establish a trend. The forecaster may also use alternative observations, such as satellite, in addition to a single surface observation to issue a TAF.

7.2.3.2 Sites with Scheduled Part-Time Observations For TAFs with less than 24-hour observational coverage, or for which part-time TAFs are provided, the TAF is valid to the end of the routine scheduled forecast period even if observations cease prior to that time. The time observations are scheduled to end and/or resume is indicated by expanding the AMD NOT SKED statement. Expanded statements will include the observation ending time (AFT 02Z), the scheduled observation resumption time (TIL 12Z) or the period of observation unavailability (02Z-12 Z).

7.2.3.2.1 Examples of Scheduled Part-Time Observations TAFs

TAF AMD KACV 141410Z 141412 NIL= The TAF is suspended until a complete data source is available

TAF AMD KRWF 150202Z 150224 AMD NOT SKED 05Z-18Z= No amendments will be available between 0500 UTC an 1800 UTC due to lack of a complete observational set between those times.

TAF AMD KPSP 190230Z 190324 NIL AMD= No amendments will be made to the TAF.

7.2.3.3 Automated Observing Sites Requiring Part-Time Augmentation TAFs for AWOS-III sites which have part-time augmentation are prepared using the procedures for part-time manual observation sites detailed in the previous section, with one exception. This exception is the remark used when the automated system is unattended. Specifically, the time an augmented automated system is scheduled to go into unattended operation and/or the time augmentation resumes is included in a remark unique to automated observing sites: AMD LTD TO CLD VIS AND WIND (AFT aaZ, or TIL bbZ, or aaZ-bbZ), where aaZ is the time of the last augmented observation and bbZ is the time the second complete observation is expected to be received. This remark, which does not preclude amendments for other forecast elements, is appended to the last scheduled TAF issued prior to the last augmented observation. It will also be appended to all subsequent amendments until augmentation resumes.

The AMD LTD TO (elements specified) remark is a flag for users and differs from the AMD NOT SKED AFT Z remark for part-time manual observation sites. AMD LTD TO (elements specified) means users should expect amendments only for those elements and the times specified.

Example:

TAF AMD KCOE 150202Z 150224 text AMD LTD TO CLD VIS AND WIND 05Z-18Z=

The amended forecast indicates that between 0500 and 1800Z amendments will only be issued for wind, visibility and clouds.

An amendment includes forecasts for all appropriate TAF elements, even those not reported when the automated site is not augmented. If unreported elements are judged crucial to the TAF and cannot be adequately determined (e.g., fog versus moderate snow), the TAF will be suspended (i.e. an amended TAF stating NIL may be issued). AWOS-III systems with part-time augmentation, which the forecaster suspects are providing unreliable information when not augmented, is reported for maintenance and treated the same as part-time manual observation sites. In such cases, the AMD NOT SKED AFT Z remark will be used.

7.2.3.4 Non-Augmented Automated Observing Sites The TAF issued for a non-augmented ASOS site may be suspended in the event the forecaster is notified of, or strongly suspects, an outage or unrepresentative data. The term NIL AMD is appended to the end of an amendment to the existing TAF when appropriate. If the outage occurs within one (1) hour of the next scheduled issuance or if the forecaster believes the existing TAF is unrepresentative of conditions, an amendment or scheduled issuance containing only the statement NIL may be issued.

7.3 International Aviation Route Forecasts (ROFOR) International ROFORs are prepared and issued several hours in advance of regularly scheduled flights. The only NWS office which routinely issues ROFORs is the Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in Honolulu due to its designation as an ICAO Meteorological Watch Office (MWO).

7.3.1 ROFOR Criteria WFO Honolulu will honor all ROFOR requests for flights within the Pacific Region beginning or ending in, or having most of the flight path within its area of responsibility, which is the Oakland Oceanic FIR south of 30N, between 140W and 130E.

7.3.2 Issuance ROFORs are issued for prescribed times, several hours in advance, for regularly scheduled flights. ROFOR requests for unscheduled flights are prepared as soon as time allows.

7.3.2.1 ROFOR Amendments ROFORs are not required to be amended.

7.3.2.2 ROFOR Corrections ROFOR corrections are issued as soon as possible when erroneous data has been transmitted.

7.3.3 ROFOR Content ROFORs contain some or all of the following forecast parameters:

Winds and temperatures aloft

Significant en-route weather

Zone weather

Weather Synopsis

At a minimum, ROFORs include the first two bullets. They may contain data for multiple altitudes and include TAFs for destination points and/or alternates.

The core of a ROFOR is formatted as follows: 0iQLL 4hhhTT ddFFF

Where i = 1 for zone up to latitude L i = 2 for zone up to longitude LL

Q = 1 east of the dateline in the northern hemisphere Q = 2 west of the dateline in the northern hemisphere Q = 6 east of the dateline in the southern hemisphere Q = 7 west of the dateline in the southern hemisphere

7.4 Wind and Temperature Aloft Forecast (FB) Wind and Temperature Aloft Forecasts (FB) are computer prepared forecasts of wind direction, wind speed, and temperature at specified times, altitudes, and locations. Forecasts are based on the North American Mesoscale (NAM) forecast model run. FBs are available on the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) web site at: http://aviationweather.gov/products/nws/winds/

7.4.1 Forecast Altitudes The following table contains the altitudes for which winds are forecast. Altitudes up to 15,000 feet are referenced to Mean Sea Level (MSL). Altitudes at or above 18,000 feet are references to flight levels (FL).

Table 7-8. Wind and Temperature Aloft Forecast Levels Actual Altitudes (MSL) 1,000 feet* 1,500 feet* 2,000 feet* 3,000 feet 6,000 feet 9,000 feet 12,000 feet 15,000 feet* Pressure Altitudes (Hectopascals) 18,000 feet (500 Hectopascals) 24,000 feet (400 Hectopascals) 30,000 feet (300 Hectopascals) 34,000 feet (250 Hectopascals) 39,000 feet (200 Hectopascals) 45,000 feet (150 Hectopascals)# 53,000 feet (100 Hectopascals)# * Hawaii and Western Pacific only.

# Not available for selected locations in the Contiguous US.

Wind forecasts are not issued for altitudes within 1,500 feet of a location's elevation.

Temperature forecasts are not issued for altitudes within 2,500 feet of a location's elevation.

Forecasts for intermediate levels are determined by interpolation.

7.4.2 Format The symbolic form of the forecasts is DDff+TT in which DD is the wind direction, ff the wind speed, and TT the temperature.

Wind direction is indicated in tens of degrees (two digits) with reference to true north and wind speed is given in knots (two digits). Light and variable wind or wind speeds of less than 5 knots are expressed by 9900. Forecast wind speeds of 100 through 199 knots are indicated by subtracting 100 from the speed and adding 50 to the coded direction. For example, a forecast

Page 274Open in PDF

Aviation Weather Services, Advisory Circular 00-45F, Revision 1 AC 00-45F (July 2008) Section 7: Forecast Text Products Page 7-43 of 250 degrees, 145 knots, is encoded as 7545. Forecast wind speeds of 200 knots or greater are indicated as a forecast speed of 199 knots. For example, 7799 is decoded as 270 degrees at 199 knots or greater.

Temperature is indicated in degrees Celsius (two digits) and is preceded by the appropriate algebraic sign for the levels from 6,000 through 24,000 feet. Above 24,000 feet, the sign is omitted since temperatures are always negative at those altitudes.

The product header includes the date and time observations were collected, the forecast valid date and time, and the time period during which the forecast is to be used.

Examples

1312+05 The wind direction is from 130 degree (i.e. - southeast), the wind speed is 12 knots and the temperature is 5 degrees Celsius.

9900+10 Wind light and variable, temperature +10 degrees.

7735-07 The wind direction is from 270 degrees (i.e. west), the wind speed is 135 knots and the temperature is minus 7 degrees Celsius.
