CEIL –Ceiling Height (m)

1 variant

Ceiling height is the altitude of the lowest cloud base that covers a significant portion of the sky. It is a key aviation and surface-visibility metric.

Units: m.

DPT –Dew Point Temperature (K)

1 variant

Dew point temperature is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. It is a direct measure of moisture content.

Units: K.
When dew point is close to air temperature, fog or low cloud potential increases.

GUST –Wind Speed (Gust) (m/s)

1 variant

Wind gust is the peak short-duration wind speed. It captures brief, hazardous bursts that can exceed sustained winds.

Units: m/s.

HGT –Geopotential Height (gpm)

1 variant

Geopotential height is the altitude of a pressure surface in the atmosphere. It is the primary field for identifying ridges, troughs, and large‑scale flow patterns.

Units: gpm.

SPFH –Specific Humidity (kg/kg)

1 variant

Specific humidity is the mass of water vapor per mass of air at the specified level. It is central to moisture transport.

Units: kg/kg.
Higher values indicate more atmospheric moisture and greater cloud or precip potential.
