In the last week, METARs (and TAFs) started on the feeds from TJRV.

METAR TJRV 062355Z 01003KT 10SM FEW022 SCT040 BKN055 27/24 A2997
RMK AO2A SLP147 T02670243 10310 20253 53009
But here's the oddity. TJRV used to be Roosevelt Roads NAS (TJNR).
This location was opened as a civilian airport in 2008 and that is when
TJRV became a SID. However, METARs have continued from TJNR since,
which is (was?) a DoD ASOS.
Now we are seeing METARs from *both* SIDs, and they are not the same.
METAR TJNR 062353Z AUTO 02005KT 10SM SCT025 SCT033 BKN041 27/24 A2998 RMK
AO2 SLP151 T02670244 10306 20267 53009
But the obs are very close, so I assume they are on the same airport
grounds, just seperated bit
The TJRV METARs appear to be an ASOS for what it reports, but it could
be a FAA-owned AWOS, which reports a full complement of additive data,
and looks just like an ASOS site for METARs.
Anyone know what the deal is here, or the history of this all?
