# KH: fix the parser
# should be a finite state machine
# - metar has rules what comes after what. but codes can be missing.
# (measurement not done) or //// (measurement broken at the moment)
# so given a state counter, it can stay the same or go up one or more states,
# but it can never go down

# The METAR specification is dictated in the Federal Meteorological Handbook
# which is available on-line at:
# http://tgsv5.nws.noaa.gov/oso/oso1/oso12/fmh1.htm

# General Structure is:
# TYPE, SITE, DATE/TIME, WIND, VISIBILITY, CLOUDS, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, REMARKS

# Specifically:

# TYPE (optional)
# METAR or SPECI
# METAR: regular report
# SPECI: special report

# SITE (required, only once)
#
# 4-Char site identifier (KLAX for LA, KHST for Houston)

# DATE/TIME (required, only once)
#
# 6-digit time followed by "Z", indicating UTC

# REPORT MODIFIER (optional)
# AUTO or COR
# AUTO = Automatic report (no human intervention)
# COR = Corrected METAR or SPECI

# WIND (group)
#
# Wind direction (\d\d\d) and speed (\d?\d\d) and optionaling gusting
# information denoted by "G" and speed (\d?\d\d) followed by "KT", for knots.
#
# Wind direction MAY be "VRB" (variable) instead of a compass direction.
#
# Variable Wind Direction (Speeds greater than 6 knots).  Variable wind
# direction with wind speed greater than 6 knots shall be coded in the
# format, dndndnVdxdxdx
#
# Calm wind is recorded as 00000KT.

# VISIBILITY (group)
#
# Visibility (\d+) followed by "SM" for statute miles or no 'SM' for meters
# (european)
#
# May be 1/(\d)SM for a fraction.
#
# May be M1/\d)SM for less than a given fraction. (M="-")
#
# \d\d\d\d according to KNMI
# lowest horizontal visibility (looking around)
# round down
# 0000 - 0500m in steps of 0050m
# 0500 - 5000m in steps of 0100m
# 5000 - 9999m in steps of 1000m
# 10km or more is 9999

# RUNWAY Visual Range (Group)
#
# R(\d\d\d)(L|C|R)?/((M|P)?\d\d\d\d){1,2}FT
#
# Where:
#  $1 is the runway number.
#  $2 is the runway (Left/Center/Right) for parallel runways.
#  $3 is the reported visibility in feet.
#  $4 is the MAXIMUM reported visibility, making $3 the MINIMUM.
#
#  "M" beginning a value means less than the reportable value of \d\d\d\d.
#  "P" beginning a value means more than the reportable value of \d\d\d\d.
#
#  new
#
#  R(\d\d\d[LCR]?)/([MP]?\d\d\d\d)(V[MP]?\d\d\d\d)?FT
#
# $1 runway number + Left/Center/Right
# $2 visibility feet
# $3 Varying feet
# M = less than
# P = more than

# WEATHER (Present Weather Group)
#
# See table in Chapter 12 of FMH-1.

# CLOUDS (Sky Condition Group)
#
# A space-separated grouping of cloud conditions which will contain at least
# one cloud report. Examples: "CLR", "BKN330", "SCT100", "FEW055", "OVC070"
# The three-letter codes represent the condition (Clear, Broken, Scattered,
# Few, Overcast) and the numbers (\d\d\d) represent altitlude/100.
#
# The report may have a trailing CB (cumulonimbus) or TCU (towering
# cumulus) appended. ([A-Z]{2,3})?(\d\d\d)(CB|TCU)?

# Vertical visibility (VV)
#
# VV
# This group is reported when the sky is obscured. VV is the group indicator,
# and hshshs is the vertical visibility in units of 30 metres
# (hundreds of feet).
#  
#  hshshs - Examples of Encoding
#  HEIGHT 		METAR CODE
#  100 ft 	(30 metres) 	001
#  450 ft 	(135 metres) 	004
#  2,700 ft 	(810 metres) 	027
#  12,600 ft 	(3,780 metres) 	1300
#
# source http://meteocentre.com/doc/metar.html
# 
# TEMPERATURE and DEW POINT
#
# (M?\d\d)/(M?\d\d) where $1 is the current temperature in degrees celcius,
# and $2 is the current dewpoint in degrees celcius.
#
# The "M" signifies a negative temperature, so converting the "M" to a
# "-" ought to suffice.

# PRESSURE
#
# The pressure, or altimeter setting, at the reporting site recorded in whole
# hectopascals (starts with a Q) or inches of mercury (Hg) minus the decimal
# point (starts with an A). It should always look like ([AQ]\d\d\d\d).
#
# KNMI: Q\d\d\d\d pressure in hPa calculated for sea level

# REMARKS
#
# Remarks contain additional information. They are optional but often
# informative of special conditions.
#
# Remarks begin with the "RMK" keyword and continue to the end of the line.
#
# trend group
#
# color codes BLU WHT GRN YLO AMB RED
# BLACK: vliegveld dicht
# future trend 
# NOSIG no significant change
# TEMPO temporary change

=head1 NAME

Geo::METAR - Process aviation weather reports in the METAR format.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Geo::METAR;
  use strict;

  my $m = new Geo::METAR;
  $m->metar("KFDY 251450Z 21012G21KT 8SM OVC065 04/M01 A3010 RMK 57014");
  print $m->dump;

  exit;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

METAR reports are available on-line, thanks to the National Weather Service.
Since reading the METAR format isn't easy for non-pilots, these reports are
relatively useles to the common man who just wants a quick glace at the
weather. This module tries to parse the METAR reports so the data can be
used to create readable weather reports and/or process the data in
applications.

=head1 USAGE

=head2 How you might use this

Here is how you I<might> use the Geo::METAR module.

One use that I have had for this module is to query the NWS METAR page
(using the LWP modules) at:

I<http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=EHSB>

to get an
up-to-date METAR. Then, I scan thru the output, looking for what looks
like a METAR string (that's not hard in Perl). Oh, EHSB can be any site
location code where there is a reporting station.

I then pass the METAR into this module and get the info I want. I can
then update my webcam page with the current temperature, sky conditions, or
whatnot. See for yourself at http://webcam.idefix.net/

See the BUGS section for a remark about multiple passes with the same
Geo::METAR object.

=head2 Functions

The following functions are defined in the METAR module. Most of
them are I<public>, meaning that you're supposed to use
them. Some are I<private>, meaning that you're not supposed to use
them -- but I won't stop you. Assume that functions are I<public>
unless otherwise documented.

=over

=item metar()

metar() is the function to whwich you should pass a METAR string.  It
will take care of decomposing it into its component parts converting
the units and so on.

Example: C<$m-E<gt>metar("KFDY 251450Z 21012G21KT 8SM OVC065 04/M01 A3010 RMK 57014");>

=item debug()

debug() toggles debugging messages. By default, debugging is turned
B<off>. Turn it on if you are developing METAR or having trouble with
it.

debug() understands all of the following:

        Enable       Disable
        ------       -------
          1             0
        'yes'         'no'
        'on'          'off'

If you contact me for help, I'll likely ask you for some debugging
output.

Example: C<$m-E<gt>debug(1);>

=item dump()

dump() will dump the internal data structure for the METAR in a
semi-human readable format.

Example: C<$m-E<gt>dump;>

=item version()

version() will print out the current version.

Example: C<print $m-E<gt>version;>

=item _tokenize()

B<PRIVATE>

Called internally to break the METAR into its component tokens.

=item _process()

B<PRIVATE>

Used to make sense of the tokens found in B<_tokenize()>.

=back

=head2 Variables

After you've called B<metar()>, you'd probably like to get at
the individual values for things like temperature, dew point,
and so on. You do that by accessing individual variables via
the METAR object.

This section lists those variables and what they represent.

If you call B<dump()>, you'll find that it spits all of these
out.

=over

=item VERSION

The version of METAR.pm that you're using.

=item METAR

The actual, raw METAR.

=item REMARKS

Any remarks in the report.

=back

=head1 NOTES

Test suite is small and incomplete. Needs work yet.

Older versions of this module were installed as "METAR" instaed of
"Geo::METAR"

=head1 BUGS

The Geo::METAR is only initialized once, which means you'll get left-over
crud in variables when you call the metar() function twice.

What is an invalid METAR in one country is a standard one in the next.
The standard is interpreted and used by meteorologists all over the world,
with local variations. This means there will always be METARs that will
trip the parser.

=head1 TODO

There is a TODO file included in the Geo::METAR distribution listing
the outstanding tasks that I or others have devised. Please check that
list before you submit a bug report or request a new feture. It might
already be on the TODO list.
