Station charts
Rank 548 of 1,023 in Alaska, Oct 16. The 247 rank orders a state's stations by their 247 score out of 100: how reliably they report, how accurate their readings are against a reference station, how their readings pass their checks, and how they stand against the forecast.
247 score95.6of 100
Equal scores are ordered by the share of scheduled reports received, then the reports due in the week (the longer record first), then the median arrival, then the longest silence.
The score is the weighted mean of its six parts, from the last 7 days. How a station is ranked sets out each part.
From Storm Station's own record of every report it heard from this station.
Its schedule is one report every 49 min, 29 in 24 hours. Two reports in the same 49 min count as one received.
Each hour’s forecast against this airfield’s own report, the day after. Every airfield, scored.

Station report
Drawn from its report of Oct 16, 2026, 12:56 AM local time, in the manner of the Field Book, and opened beside the plates that explain each part of it.
No cloud below 12,000 ft; visibility 10 mi or more.
FB-SKY-001, Fig. ACloud classificationThe ten cloud genera by height: the etages these layers fall in.
36.0 F with a dew point of 28.0 F, 72 per cent relative humidity. Air lifted from the station would cool to its dew point, where cloud forms, about 1,800 ft up.
FB-WAT-002, Fig. CHumidity variablesThe same lift, worked for another air: how the humidity climbs as the air rises and cools.
FB-ENG-011, Fig. AWater vapour as a gasHow much vapour air can hold at each temperature, which sets the dew point.
FB-ENG-005, Fig. ALapse rates and stabilityThe dry rate the lifted air cools at, against the air around it.
From the north northwest (340 degrees) at 3 mph: force 1, a light air on the Beaufort scale.
FB-EVT-150, Fig. AHigh windHow a high wind reaches the ground, and the strengths a warning is issued at (40 mph sustained, 58 mph gusts).
FB-ENG-008, Fig. ACoriolis as geometryWhy large scale winds turn, and blow round a low rather than into it.
FB-INS-002, Fig. AASOSThe mast the wind is measured on, 33 ft above the ground.
At 56 ft above sea level, 0 per cent of the atmosphere's air lies below the station. The standard atmosphere puts the pressure there at 29.86 inHg and the temperature at 58.8 F; the station's altimeter setting of 30.07 inHg means its barometer reads 30.01 inHg; it reports 36.0 F, 22.8 F colder than standard.
FB-ENG-001, Fig. AAtmosphere in sectionThe whole standard atmosphere this station stands in, from the ground to the edge of space.
FB-ENG-003, Fig. CHydrostatic balanceWhy a barometer 56 ft up reads less: it weighs only the air above it.
On Oct 16 the noon sun stands 29 degrees above the horizon at 52.22 N, and the day is 10 h 24 min long. Level ground there takes 48 per cent of the noon sunlight a surface facing the sun would.
