PIREP XML Output Data Format
-
The PIREP XML output has an XML schema
- PIREP fields are returned in the same order, indicated by the
PIREP Field Description.
-
Element names are in lower-case with words separated by an underscore (_).
Whenever applicable, the units are included at the end of the element name. For example, an element name of temperature_c indicates that temperature is in degrees Celsius.
-
Each row of PIREP data is returned as a separate 'PIREP' tag, followed by the
PIREP fields. Any fields that appear to be missing are either not reported in the PIREP or were not parsed.
- PIREP fields are always returned in the order indicated by the
PIREP Field Description Table.
The exception to this is when cloud, icing and turbulence conditions are
grouped together.
-
The output includes some statistics about the request, such as the number of
results and the time taken to fulfill the request.
-
All data is
ordered by descending observation time.
-
An error message is generated when
an error in the input request prevents the retrieval of data.
-
If a constraint parameter is missing
and a default value exists, an appropriate warning message is
produced and the default request is fulfilled.
- For a description of the
PIREP field names, their units and types, please refer to: PIREP Field Description
