Hello, Please looks at the this example we provide: http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/METAR_Station_Plot_with_MetPy.html If you change the selected METAR stations in section 3.2 to just 'KDAB' you can see the data are plotted correctly and we have run this locally to print out all of the parameters for KDAB: 2022-10-05 21:53:00 dewpoint:14.0 precip3Hour:-9999.0 sunshine:-9999 windGust:-9999.0 latitude:29.173540115356445 autoStationType:AO2 windDir:50.0 pkwndTime:-9999 maxTemp24Hour:-9999.0 snowWater:-9999.0 reportType:METAR pkwndDir:-9999.0 snowDepth:-9999 vertVisibility:-9999.0 wmoId:-9999 temperature:25.0 stationName:KDAB windSpeed:7.0 timeObs:1665006780000 longitude:-81.0718765258789 stationId:KDAB elevation:12.0 snowfall6Hour:-9999.0 seaLevelPress:101600.0 forecastHr:0 minTemp24Hour:-9999.0 refTime:1665006780000 visibility:10.0 maxTemp6Hour:-9999.0 dataURI:/obs/2022-10-05_21:53:00.0/METAR/null/KDAB/29.17354/-81.07188 windDirStr:050 precip24Hour:-9999.0 pkwndSpeed:-9999.0 precip6Hour:-9999.0 tempFromTenths:25.0 rawMETAR:SAUS80 KWBC 052200 RRA METAR KDAB 052153Z 05007KT 10SM FEW050 25/14 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP160 T02500139 altimeter:30.010000228881836 precip1Hour:-9999.0 pressChange3Hour:-9999.0 correction:0 dpFromTenths:13.899999618530273 pressChangeChar: minTemp6Hour:-9999.0 Can you send me the raw file in data_store? Can you send me the output of the hdf5 file? "h5dump /awips2/edex/data/hdf5/obs/metar-2022-10-05-21.h5 | grep KDAB" It should look something like this: METAR KDAB 052153Z 05007KT 10SM FEW050 25/14 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP160 Thanks, Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer UCAR-Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XFF-584221 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.
