ADDS - TAFs Help Page (1 of 1)
Back to TAFs Page
|
The TAFs Page contains 3 major sections:
-
The first section contains a link to the TAFs
Java Tool. Click on this link and a Java applet will load
on a different page. Once the applet has loaded, move the
cursor over a TAF site and the latest raw text TAF will
appear. Hold down the
mouse button while dragging it to zoom in on a location
and unclutter the map. If 'auto-update' is selected, the
data will update automatically.
-
The second section contains a method for obtaining the
latest plots of TAFs. Click either "Prevailing"
or "Temporary" conditions, then select the desired
valid time, then click on the map.
The METAR help pages have a legend for the
weather
symbols.
-
The third section contains a method for obtaining the
latest raw and translated Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) data
from the National Weather Service. Accessing
TAFs for specific stations is accomplished using the
FORM and entering the 4-letter ICAO station identifier
and clicking on the TAF Only or
TAF and METAR button. This should
retrieve the most recent forecast for the requested
station(s). Obtain all stations in a given state by
entering @ and a state abbreviation
(@NY, @NJ for example).
