3.11.3. Local Dissemination. During ADS outages or if ADS is not available, disseminate
observations to ATC first. For further dissemination, establish procedures locally in an order
of priority that is consistent with local requirements and scheduled file times for longline
transmission. Coordinate local dissemination procedures to include code form, format and
content with local customers and document in the local weather documentation. Locations
without an ADS should disseminate observations locally as follows:

3.11.3.1. Disseminate wind direction in degrees magnetic (unless otherwise specified, see
Chapter 7) using three digits.

3.11.3.2. Disseminate all other plain language remarks as required by local agencies after
the last element of the observation.

3.11.3.3. Maintain a copy of all observations disseminated locally.
