Creating A Station Plot

Station plots are used to plot coded reports from weather station observations onto surface analysis charts. Each station plot follows the international format recommended by the WMO, including elements like air temperature, pressure, visibility, and wind speed and direction. Some meteorological services may vary the station plot slightly but the data can still normally be interpreted by chart users.

Coded reports from station observations (once checked for


inaccuracies) will be plotted onto Surface Analysis Charts
in the form of a station plot.
Each station plot normally follows the international format
as recommended by the WMO (left) but elements may be
excluded according to the level of detail required.
Note: some meteorological services may implement slight
variations within the station plot but the data can normally
be interpreted by the chart user.
