Subject: Redirection of Select Internet Aviation Data Services Starting
on or About April 4, 2012
NWS will start to redirect legacy Web pages that
contain coded aviation oriented weather data to alternative Web pages
containing the same information starting on or about April 4, 2012. This change
eliminates duplication and reduces operational costs.
These changes will focus on data available from
this page:
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/coded.html
METAR data will be redirected to:
http://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/metars/
TAF data will
be redirected to:
http://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/tafs/
Announcements will be placed on these pages
starting the first week of March. This announcement
will explain the purpose of the redirect.
Once in place, the redirection will send an http
response code of 301 Moved Permanently.
Users of aviation data are encouraged to use the
Aviation Weather site, maintained by the NWS Aviation Weather Center. This site
is the central location for aviation weather data and is the only NWS Website
certified as a Qualified Internet Communications Provider (QICP) by the Federal
Aviation Administration.
