metar interpretation

[saviboy]

hi does anyone know what means the underlined portion?
KMIB 061108 21009KT 9999 SKC QNH2985INS
BECMG 1516 24012G18KT 9999 SKC QNH2988INS WND 21009KT AFT 01 T28/21Z T04/12Z 1137

and what about this:

60001 70001 T02560233 10267 20244 52009

thanks

and what about this:
T02560233

I do know that particular number stands for the specific temp/dewpoint spread.

Temp was 2.56 C, and the dewpoint was 2.33 C. Then what they do is just round it up or down on the actual METAR. For instance, on the metar it would be stated as temp: 3C, dew: 2C.

T28 is temperature, and the time. The other 1137 i believe is temperature not related to aviation. Not sure on the rest

T02560233 is actually read:

Temperature 25.6, Dewpoint 23.3.

60001 is the precipitation amount in .01 inches for the past 6 hours.

70001 is the precipitation amount for the past 24 hours.

10267 is the maximum temperature for the past 6 hours.

20244 is the minimum temperature for the past 6 hours.

52009 is the change in pressure in tenths of hPa in the past 3 hours.

Ref AIM Chapter 7

Thanks for the correction Mach2.

I couldn't decide if it was 25 or 2.5. And I assumed, it being Minot, ND, in the fall, the temperature would actually be closer to 2C then 25C. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Thanks for the education on the rest of the numbers though!

what about the flollowing underlined section:

BECMG 1516 24012G18KT 9999 SKC QNH2988INS WND 21009KT AFT 01 T28/21Z T04/12Z 1137

What you are looking at is the military version of a TAF, not METAR. The AFT 01 is part of the wind forcast for after 01Z. The T28/21Z T04/12Z is giving you the forecast maximum temperature (at 21Z) and the forecast minimum temperature (at 12Z) AFT 01 T28/21Z T04/12Z 1137
