2. Configure and save a new input device in Setup > Input. For example:
3. Edit the following configuration files:
File Name
Description
metar_site.conf Configures the METAR or SYNOP station site list consisting of ICAO site ID,
(optional WMO site ID), LAT/LON, altitude, description, and priority.
Since the METAR/SYNOP texts do not include the latitude and longitude of
the stations, this file is essential.
When a METAR or SYNOP file arrives, all stations in this file are expected.
• Any station listed in the file, but missing from the report, are marked as
DNR (Did Not Report).
• Any station in the report, but missing from the file is deleted, and a
message is placed in the pipe log file.
You must maintain the files to remove old stations, and add new ones.
For a rough list of METAR and SYNOP stations, see: http://
weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/stations.txt
synop_site.conf
fmetar2Iris.conf Configures the product's geographical bounding box. This is the size of the
box when the SWS product is displayed alone.
Any station outside this box is discarded.
We also configure the SWS product name, and IRIS site name, and similar.
The template files are configured for Turkey.
4. Create the input directory. These directories must be owned by operator.
$ su
# mkdir /usr/iris_data/metar_in
# chown operator:users /usr/iris_data/metar_in
5. Restart IRIS.
