METARs

[Medicryan]

Can someone please explain to me what the heck this means.

RMK AO2 SLP160 T02670189

I cannot find it anywhere in the AIM or the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge.

Thanks

RMK=Remark

AO2=means that the site is automated and HAS a precipitation sensor. If it were AO1, there would be no precip sensor. This does not mean the site is un-manned. If there is an AUTO after the ID in the metar ob, then there is no observer

SLP=Sea Level Pressure 1016.0

T02670189= Temperature (0=above zero celcius, 1=below zero celcius)

26.7 temp and 18.9 dewpoint

Its in the AIM under Figures 7-1-7 & 7-1-8 in my 2006 Jeppesen FAR/AIM. I think its also located in the Airport Facility Directory in the back pages.
