Feature Requests item #577808, was opened at 2002-07-05 11:25 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by etienne_t You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=377955&aid=577808&group_id=23245 Category: Decoding Group: phpweather-2.x Status: Open Resolution: Later Priority: 5 Submitted By: Fabrizio Di Meo (fdimeo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: TAF - Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts Initial Comment: Hi all, I think that would be really useful if phpweather were able to decode the TAF also, what do you think about? :o) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Etienne Tourigny (etienne_t) Date: 2003-09-11 11:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=626224 Must of the stuff there (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/icwf/avnfps/editor.html#TAFDe coder) is already in the cvs code. What I think remains is : - time consistency checks - Consistency Checks Within a Group - NSW (no significant weather) - NIL( AMD) (augmented data) ?? When I did the basic decoding I used the regex's in decode_matar() and I found that only wind shear was missing (it's not in METARs). I think the issue that must be resolved is translating the various time-periods (FM BECMG TEMPO PROB) into hour-by-hour information. Or we could just spew out the time periods as-is. Perhaps we want to have a way of getting the complete forecast for given hour(s)? The difficulty lies in the fact that some periods such as BECMG only give some data such as wind but not visi or clouds... Such as this example: CYVR 111438Z 111512 12008KT P6SM SCT010 BKN060 TEMPO 1519 6SM -SHRA SCT008 BKN030 BECMG 1921 25010KT BECMG 0002 29013KT So we could go through the periods in chronological order and keep the old values that haven't changed while updating the values that have changed (except things like descriptive weather). Keeping in mind that a TEMPO period is only temporary and has no effect on subsequent periods. Does someone have a good link that describes precisely the meaning of the period types? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Thomas Michael Winningham (antipasto) Date: 2003-09-09 15:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=101704 Hey I'd love to speed up the availability of this feature! Anyone know anything about extrapolating this information into hour-by-hour information? I found some great regular expressions for TAF on the bottom of this page at: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/icwf/avnfps/editor.html#TAFDe coder ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Geisler (gimpster) Date: 2003-09-05 15:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104098 Okay, welcome aboard! :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Etienne Tourigny (etienne_t) Date: 2003-09-05 13:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=626224 Sure i'm interested in having CVS access. Please register me as developper and give me the proper cvs access. I'll discuss integration issues on the devel mailing list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Geisler (gimpster) Date: 2003-09-05 13:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104098 Sounds great! I can give you CVS access and then you'll be able to incorporate your changes into the existing code. I don't know exactly how your extension should be integrated, but perhaps you already have an idea? Let me know if you're interested and I'll include you as a developer on the project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Etienne Tourigny (etienne_t) Date: 2003-09-05 12:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=626224 I've written en extension to retreive and decode TAF forecasts. It's not complete yet but the basics are there. The parts remaining are: pretty output, translation, full testing, other backends than mysql, plus others I might have missed. Please let me know how I can contribute. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Geisler (gimpster) Date: 2002-07-11 15:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104098 Yes, it would be great if PHP Weather could parse TAF reports... but it can't do this at the moment, and it'll be a while before it can - unless someone finds the time to write the code that is :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-07-07 11:29 Message: Logged In: NO yes, id love it if i could get predictions too ;-) It would be well amazing, ontop of the already great current weather reports ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=377955&aid=577808&group_id=23245 |
