This edition of FMH-3, 'Rawinsonde and Pibal Observations,' concludes a 5-year effort by the AHG/FMH-UA to meet the objectives outlined in guidance issued by CBS. Specifically, the CBS directed that the new FMH-3 should: (1) reflect our Nation's commitments to international organizations (i.e., WMO, ICAO); (2) integrate conventional and automatically observed data by adopting new standards for automated, augmented, and manual observations; (3) allow agencies to prepare and issue agency-specific procedures and instructions for taking and reporting upper air observations; and (4) combine FMHs 3, 4, 5, and 6 into a new FMH-3. 收起
