[KWT]

Just a quick heads up, a discussion thread is now here:

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=108652

[senorpepr]

Can someone please interpret this information for us non-met people.

For decoding the text part... have fun. There's a "how to" posted here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=97379

The graphic is a visual display of the text bulletin. The green line is the temperature trace while the red line is the dewpoint trace. The bottom of the image is the ocean level. On the right is a listing of height in km and ft. For instance, the top of the red line indicates the temperature at around 43,000 ft is -56°C. On the far right are wind barbs for the wind direction and speed from the aircraft to the ocean surface. This gives folks an idea of the stability of the atmosphere and how dry/moist the atmosphere is. (The closer the red and green lines, the more moist).

Don't know what happened to drops 8 and 9...
