  2. Airport reference temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_reference_temperature

    Aerodrome reference temperature is defined by ICAO (Convention on International Civil Aviation, Annex 14, Vol. I, 2.4.1) as the monthly mean of the daily maximum temperatures for the hottest month of the year (the hottest month being that which has the highest monthly mean temperature). This temperature should be averaged over a period of years.

  3. IWXXM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWXXM

    ICAO Meteorological Information Exchange Model (IWXXM) is a format for reporting weather information in XML/GML.IWXXM includes XML/GML-based representations for products standardized in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex III, such as METAR/SPECI, TAF, SIGMET, AIRMET, Tropical Cyclone Advisory (TCA), Volcanic Ash Advisory (VAA), [1] Space Weather Advisory and World Area ...

  4. International Standard Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard...

    To accommodate the lowest points on Earth, the model starts at a base geopotential altitude of 610 meters (2,000 ft) below sea level, with standard temperature set at 19 °C. With a temperature lapse rate of −6.5 °C (-11.7 °F) per km (roughly −2 °C (-3.6 °F) per 1,000 ft), the table interpolates to the standard mean sea level values of ...

  5. Surface weather observation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_weather_observation

    ASOS sensors, located at Salinas, California. Surface weather observations have traditionally been taken at airports due to safety concerns during takeoffs and landings. The ICAO defines the International Standard Atmosphere (also known as ICAO Standard Atmosphere), which is the model of the standard variation of pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity with elevation/altitude in the ...

    An en-route weather phenomenon in the U.S., issued by the Aviation Weather Center in Kansas City, MO on the 7th of August, at 16:55 UTC [10] SIGC CONVECTIVE SIGMET 83C This is a convective weather pattern in the central region of the contiguous U.S. with sequence number 83C VALID UNTIL 1855Z That is valid until 18:55 UTC MI IN WI IL IA LM

  7. Lapse rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate

    It varies with the temperature and pressure of the parcel and is often in the range 3.6 to 9.2 °C/km (2 to 5 °F/1000 ft), as obtained from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The environmental lapse rate is the decrease in temperature of air with altitude for a specific time and place (see below). It can be highly variable ...

  8. ICAO airport code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICAO_airport_code

    The ICAO airport code or location indicator is a four-letter code designating aerodromes around the world. These codes, as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization and published quarterly in ICAO Document 7910: Location Indicators, are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning.

  9. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    * Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.
