We just wanted to figure out if there was an easy way to access specific
stations data for whenever we choose watersheds for our models. At present time
we don't have something specific that we want but if there is something not
that complex that would require a lot of effort on your part that we could then
tailor to our needs we would really appreciate it.
I could try to write scripts to extract the data if I knew how METAR reports
are organized within the LDM feed. For example, one station that we more often
use is Cotulla, Texas but it doesn't seem to be in any of the Texas stations I
have identified so far using the following statement in my pqact:
IDS|DDPLUS
^SAUS.. (....) (..)(..)
FILE
IDS_DDPLUS/\1/(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)(\2:dd)T\3.txt
I figured this would pull data from all stations in the United States but only
59 or 60 folders get created
And using the station identifier in that statement does not yield results

What stations are you interested in? I may have some time over the next 2 days
or so to help write a regex that will accomplish this.

Good morning,
I was wondering if anybody had information as to how the METAR reports are
distributed within the LDM. I have found the information about the WMO header
required to request file this data as text files. However, it seems as if some
stations are responsible to transmit reports from other stations as well
because I cannot request METAR reports from specific stations. When requesting
all reports from the United States and filing the files in folder based on the
ICAO ID only 60 folders get created and those 60 stations' reports contain
reports for many stations.
Does anyone know if there is hierarchy for reporting METAR reports?
Any help or guidance will be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
