Observed Enter in Remarks Section Manual Automated Supplement Back-up
Condition
Remark
Number

miles west of the observing location would be encoded "TCU
W."

(3) Altocumulus Castellanus in format, ACC_[DIR]_[Plain
Language], where ACC is cloud type and DIR is direction from
the observing location. Separate the cloud type entries by a
space. For example, an ACC cloud 5 to 10 nautical miles
northwest of the observing location would be encoded "ACC
NW."

19 Significant (4) Standing lenticular or Rotor clouds. Stratocumulus O
Cloud Types (SCSL), altocumulus (ACSL), or cirrocumulus (CCSL), or
(cont) rotor clouds in format, CLD_[DIR]_[Plain Language],
where CLD is cloud type and DIR is direction from the

observing location. Separate the cloud type entries by a
space. For example, ACSL clouds observed southwest
through west of the observing location would be encoded
“ACSL SW-W”; an apparent rotor cloud northeast of the

observing location would be encoded “APRNT ROTOR
CLD NE”; and CCSL clouds south of the observing location
would be encoded “CCSL S.”
20 Ceiling Height Encode ceiling height at a second location in format, X

at Second CIG_hhh_[LOC], where CIG is the remark identifier, hhh is
Location the measured height of the ceiling, and [LOC] is the specific
location of the ceilometer(s) at the observing location. This
remark is only generated when the ceiling is lower than that

contained in the body of the report. For example, if the
ceiling measured by a second sensor located at runway 11 is
broken at 200 feet; the remark would be "CIG 002 RWY11."
