letter V and the lowest/highest values. For example, a
visibility that was varying between ½ and 2SM would be

encoded "VIS 1/2V2."
8 Sector Encode sector visibility (visibility in > 45° sector differs O
Visibility from prevailing visibility by one or more reportable values

and either prevailing or sector visibility is < 3SM (4800 m) in
format, VIS_[DIR]_vvvvv_[Plain Language], where VIS is
the remark identifier, [DIR] defines the sector to 8 points of
the compass, and vvvvv is the sector visibility inSM or m,
using the appropriate set of values. For example, a visibility

of 2½SM (4000 m) in the northeastern octant would be
encoded "VIS NE 2 1/2" (VIS NE 4000).
9 Visibility at Encode visibility at a second location in format X

Second VIS_vvvvv_[LOC], where VIS is the remark identifier,
Location vvvvv is the measured visibility value, and [LOC] is the
specific location of the visibility sensor(s). Include the
remark only when the condition is lower than that contained
in the body of the report. For example, a visibility of 2½SM

(4000 m) measured by a second sensor located at runway 11
would be encoded "VIS 2 1/2 RWY11" (VIS 4000 RWY11).
