If so, I presume that someone would > have to write a formula to do the same in the IDV. It's all based on the decoder. In the ADDE datasets, the value that gets stored is whatever is reported in the METAR. In your file, some report just altimeter and some report both. So, if both are reported, both should be available for plotting. We don't calculate one from the other. > I've attached a sample METAR data file of the sort that WXP will read and > from which it plots station pressure. I suspect then that WXP is doing a conversion if you can plot either value at any station.
