Remarks |
The local meteorological information provided according to the METAR AUTO key is generated automatically without human intervention, in either generation or validation. Therefore, caution is recommended in the use of the information about visibility, current weather, cloud amount and height of cloud base, due to the limitations of the sensors, the spatial area sampled by these sensors, as well as the associated algorithms used by the automatic observation system. |
