I.D. Numbers for winds aloft stations

Featured Replies

Does anyone know where I can get data about which stations are being used to update winds aloft in Europe? At EGLL it tells me I'm using WMO ID: 03882 but of course this means absolutely nothing to me.... :)Any suggestions?Thanks,Tom

Tom,Try: http://www.meteonet.nl/diversen/stationslijsten/or: http://cyclone.plymouth.edu/id_list.phpOr in your ActiveSky folder there is a text file called wmo.txt. Open the file with Wordpad or Notepad and do a search for the code number. Keep in mind that all WMO stations do not have an ICAO code associated with them.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

Also,not every station that reports TAF and Metars reports Winds Aloft.Mark
