_scienceWeatherMetarDatasSet

Give / provide a METAR to the scol object. You can change (or update) as much METAR as you want.

I recommend to use _scienceWeatherMetarDatasSetFromUrl with the default server and the FROM_NOAA flag (you choose an icao code at your convenience) and next set the downloaded METAR with this function. You'll find an example on _scienceWeatherMetarDatasSetFromUrl page.

Prototype :

fun [ObjScienceWeatherMetar S] ObjScienceWeatherMetar

• ObjScienceWeatherMetar : a METAR scol object.


• S : a METAR

Return : ObjScienceWeatherMetar the same object or nil if error.

Note :

The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an US department) provides METARs on its ftp server : ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/ but you can use an other source. In this last case, don't use the flag FROM_NOAA.
To search an ICAO code (airports, stations, ...) you could search in http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/stations.txt or use your favorite search web engine.
