Hi Cees,

Sorry for the delay reply, somehow I missed this support ticket.
The set of weather symbols in the IDV should be very comprehensive, however,
I don't understand your problem clearly. But, it does not look like you were 
looking
for some specific symbol. It sounds like you want to create a layout 
model for the automated obs station. If so, please reference the following:

Please let me know if II mis understood your problem.
