National Weather Service weather thresholds (e.g. conditions change from visual meteorological conditions to instrument meteorological conditions). The basic weather elements observed are: sky condition, visibility, present weather, obstructions to vision, pressure, temperature, dew point, wind direction and speed, precipitation accumulation, and selected significant remarks. The coded observations are issued as METARs and look similar to this: Getting more information on the atmosphere, more frequently, and from more locations is the key to improving forecasts and warnings. Due to the large installation and operating costs associated with ASOS, the stations are widely spaced. Therefore, the Cooperative Observer Program (COOP), a network of approximately 11,000
Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I is a rare autosomal dominant condition. This condition is evident at birth and is associated with a very poor prognosis for the baby. It may be diagnosed antenatally. This condition is caused by mutations in the filamin B (FLNB) gene. This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p14). Filamin B forms part of the actin cytoskeleton. How these mutations produce the clinical picture is not yet clear. This is a rare condition with a prevalence of < 1/10. The total number of cases reported to date is <20. Clinical features
