August 12, 201015 yr METAR reports list cloud ceilings Above Ground Level (AGL), not above mean sea level (MSL). So if the airport is 500'AGL, and the METAR reports "bkn120", then the cloud ceiling would be 12,000 feet above the ground and 12,500 MSL. Does ASE depict the cloud ceiling accurately, i.e. AGL?
August 13, 201015 yr Hi,With B572 clouds at airports with actual data are correct. If an airport has advanced interpolated data, then it is possible that the clouds are not at the correct altitude and this is on the fix list for a future SP.

I meant to say, "So if the airport is 500' MSL", not "500' AGL". Can't imagine an airport being 500' AGL. That would be quite a trick. :(
