CWAs

Location: /cgi-bin/json/CwaJSON.php

This script will create GeoJSON output using data from the ADDS database. The latest set of Center Weather Advisories are returned. Here is sample output:

            "data": "CWA",
...

The properties output from the script are:

  • cwsu - ARTCC region identifier
  • name - Long name for the region
  • seriesId - Long name for the region
  • validTimeFrom - ISO 8601 formatted date and time when CWA is first valid
  • validTimeTo - ISO 8601 formatted date and time when CWA ends
  • hazard - TS (thunderstorms), TURB, ICE, IFR, PCPN (precipitation)
  • qualifier - hazard qualifier such as ISOL (isolated), SEV (severe), EMBD (embedded), etc
  • base - Lowest level the CWA is valid in feet
  • top - Lowest level the CWA is valid in feet
  • cwaText - Raw CWA text

The script can be passed parameters via command line or through CGI REQUEST. The parameters to the script include:

  • type=type - Specifies type of CWA to parse: ts, turb, ice, ifr, pcpn, all. Default is all.
  • top=### - Specifies top altitude in 100s feet for returned CWAs. The default is no top.
  • bottom=### - Specifies bottom altitude in 100s feet for returned CWAs. The default is no top.
  • level=### - Specifies a specific altitude in 100s feet for returned CWAs. The default is no top.
  • date=yyyymmddhhnn - This sets the date for the CWAs reports. This combined with the age returns all reports within that time range. The default is current time.
  • jsonp=callback - This sets the callback function to be used in a JSONP call. This is just when the script is called on another server. The default is null which outputs straight JSON.
