Hi Jamie, Yes, that is something I noticed, and was trying to explain. None of the records that have timeObs also have turbulence information. Meaning it appears there are separate entries for those with turbulence info and those with time and location info. I was trying to see if there was some other field (like id or wmo header) that would show up on both records (turbulence and time/loc records) so they could be linked together. I didn't have any luck with the fields I looked at. But there might be some other way, maybe setting other options like the location and time on the request. That's sort of what I meant by you might need to do some digging/playing around, to find a way to connect the turbulence records with the other records, and I assume you're right that multiple turbulence intensities can be reported with one flight. That would explain why there are more turb records than timeObs records. I hope this helps a little. Thanks. --Shay Carter Software Engineer II UCAR - Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: QVN-243999 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
