text: DATA AND INFORMATION RELIABILITY

text: Owing to the variability of meteorological elements in space and time, to limitations of observing techniques and to limitations caused by the definitions of some of the elements, the specific value of any of the elements given in a forecast is understood to be the most probable value which the element is likely to assume during the period of the forecast. Similarly, when the time of occurrence or change of an element is given in a forecast, this time is understood to be the most probable time. Owing to the variability of meteorological elements in space and time, to limitations of observing techniques, and to limitations caused by the definitions of some of the elements, the specific value of any of the elements given in a meteorological report or in a forecast is understood to be the best approximation to the actual conditions at the time of observation or the most probable value that the element is likely to assume during the period of the forecast, respectively. Similarly, when the time of occurrence or change of an element is given in a forecast, this time is understood to be the most probable time.

text: (a) The periods of validity for an up to 9-hour TAF should commence at 00, 03, 06, 09, 12, 15, 18 and 21 UTC and for a 24- and a 30-hour TAF at 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC or 03, 09, 15, and 21 UTC. (b) The 24- and 30-hour TAF periods of validity should be determined based on the types of operations, as agreed between the aerodrome meteorological office and the operators concerned. At aerodromes with limited hours of operation, the beginning of the period of validity of a TAF should commence at least 1 hour prior to the aerodrome resuming operations, or more as agreed between the aerodrome meteorological office and the operators concerned, to meet planning requirements for flights that arrive at the aerodromes as soon as it is opened for use. (c) A Rroutine TAF valid for up to 9 hours should be issued every 3 hours, and those valid for 24 or 30 hours should be issued every 6 hours. (d) At aerodromes with limited hours of operation, the beginning of the period of validity of a TAF should commence at least 1 hour prior to the aerodrome resuming operations, or more as agreed between the aerodrome meteorological office and the operators concerned, to meet planning requirements for flights that arrive at the aerodromes as soon as it is opened for use.

text: REPORTING THE INTENSITY OF WIND SHEAR

text: Specifications for reporting the intensity of wind shear are still under development. It is recognised, however, that pilots, when reporting wind shear, may use the qualifying terms ‘moderate’, ‘strong’ or ‘severe’, based to a large extent on their subjective assessment of the intensity of the wind shear encountered.
