I just checked to see what KALB METAR data has been received and
decoded on two toplevel IDD relay nodes that we maintain, and both are
missing the 23:51 UTC observation for yesterday, Tuesday, March 17.
This is the observation that would have been received at 00 UTC.
Here is a McIDAS SFCLIST listing for the data processed on the toplevel
NOAAPort ingest and IDD relay machine we maintain at the NSF/ATM
offices in Arlington, Virginia, idd.cise-nsf.gov:
