> METAR observation data, SFC level What operating system are you running CAVE on? There should be a file: stdObsDesign.svg where you can specify the plotUnits for METAR/obs. On linux it can be found here: /awips2/cave/etc/plotModels/stdObsDesign.svg On windows it can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\UCAR Unidata\AWIPS CAVE\plugins\com.raytheon.viz.pointdata_1.15.1.202207261231\localization\plotModel\stdObsDesign.svg Once you update that file, close CAVE, remove caveData, then restart CAVE.
