SE.ACMF Meteorological observations - Current weather, quartz values

Purpose: Describes the current weather and, over time, the climate. Unit: code values; Characteristics: Prevailing weather observed every three hours at manual measuring stations. At automatic stations, the measurement takes place every quarter of an hour. The value of the last quarter is reported every hour. If several weather phenomena are observed at the same time, the most significant weather shall be reported. The codes are designed so that higher code numbers mean more significant weather with an exception for manual stations where code 17 (Easter without precipitation) is more significant than codes 20-49. The codes can be found at https://opendata.smhi.se/apidocs/metobs/codes.html#parameter-13. Network information: - SMHI's station network: Data is collected and stored in SMHI's databases. Data quality is checked, which means that incorrect data is corrected and that data loss is supplemented based on expert judgement where possible. Most of the stations are continuously monitored, inspected and maintained by SMHI. - Other stations: Data is collected and stored in SMHI's databases. The data quality is unknown to SMHI as SMHI does not perform quality control on data or inspections at the stations. Quality codes: Green = Verified and accepted values. Yellow = Suspected values, aggregated values, roughly controlled archive data and uncontrolled real-time data (last 2 hours). Boundaries: Code values 0 to 511.
