Does anyone know how to get off hour METAR observations?
For example, this morning at KCMH, there was an ob at 1239Z, but I am only
able to retrieve hourly obs... (from UCAR):
KCMH 151251Z 33009KT 8SM BKN013 OVC020 19/17 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP110 T01940167
KCMH 151239Z 33010KT 8SM BKN013 OVC020 19/17 A2987 RMK AO2
From our machine:
GEMPAK-SFLIST>l
SFFILE = METAR
AREA = @cmh
DATTIM = 12-13
SFPARM = text
OUTPUT = T
IDNTYP = stid
GEMPAK-SFLIST>r
KCMH 151151Z 32011KT 8SM SCT018 BKN025 OVC140 19/17 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP110 BINOVC

Do I need to use a different decoder to get these observations? (Interestingly
some stations allow me to get the off-hour obs, e.g. UNV)
GEMPAK-SFLIST>area = @unv
GEMPAK-SFLIST>r

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
