Integration of weather stations

[pyrog]

Osmose could suggest integration of weather stations or check if existing tags are valid.

• man_made=monitoring_station
• monitoring:weather=yes
• name=*
• ref:wmo=*
• ref:wigos=*

Where ref:wmo is the former identifier for a station and ref:wigos is the current identifier.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) publish a "legacy" version of Volume A (WMO Publication No. 9, Volume A, Observing Stations and WMO Catalogue of Radiosondes). This CSV file contains stations names, coordinates, identifiers: vola_legacy_report.txt

Also, weather stations could be searched by name, "wigos" or "wmo" IDs in the OSCAR/Surface . There is a REST API, a Pythonic API…

Example

• Way 343548683
  • name=Chatham
  • ref:wmo=74494
  • ref:wigos = 0-20000-0-74494 (founded in vola_legacy_report.txt)

Found in the FAQ API: How can I extract lists of stations from OSCAR/Surface?
