| title | AIRMET (IWXXM) |
| description | ICAO Meteorological Information Exchange Model is a format for reporting weather information in XML/GML. IWXXM includes XML/GML-based representations for products standardized in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 3, such as METAR/SPECI, TAF, SIGMET, AIRMET, Tropical Cyclone Advisory, Volcanic Ash Advisory and Quantitative Volcanic Ash information. IWXXM products are used for operational exchanges of meteorological information for use in aviation. Unlike the traditional forms of the ICAO Annex 3 products, IWXXM is not intended for direct human consumption. Instead IWXXM is designed to be ingested and manipulated by systems for downstream human consumption such as display software. An AIRMET is an information message issued by a meteorological watch office (MWO) to advise pilots of the occurrence or expected occurrence of specified weather phenomena which may affect the safety of aircraft operations and were not already included in a Graphic Area Forecast (GFA), and the development of those phenomena in time and space. |
