This dialog box appears only after you have entered a portion of the WMO ID in the TTAAii and/or CCCC entry lines, and pressed the Enter key on your keyboard. Exhibit 4.2.6.2-1 shows the WMO Search Dialog Box after "KSEA" was entered in the CCCC entry line.

Exhibit 4.2.6.2-1. The WMO Search Dialog Box

The WMO Search Dialog Box has the following features:

TTAAii: This is a listing of the WMO Data Type and Area Indicators whose contents vary depending on what is contained in the other lists within the dialog box.

CCCC: This is a list of the International Location indicators. Its contents vary depending on what is contained in the other lists within the dialog box.

AWIPS ID: This list contains the AWIPS ID that corresponds to the WMO TTAAii ID. If there is no corresponding AWIPS ID, then a dummy or blank ID appears in this column.

DDHHMM: This list contains an inventory of the issuance dates/times of the most recent versions of text products. The DD signifies the date, HH the hour, and MM shows the minutes. If you search only for the TTAAii portion of the WMO ID, then the DDHHMM list contains the latest issuances of that product for every CCCC site.

BBB: This column indicates if a text product is an Amendment (AAx), a Correction (CCx), or Delayed (RRx).
