pyiem.nws.products.pirep module

Pilot Reports (PIREP)

This module attempts to process and store atomic data from PIREPs. These are encoded products that look like so:

UBUS01 KMSC 221700 EAU UA /OV EAU360030/TM 1715/FL350/TP B737/TB CONT LGT-MOD CHOP = EHY UA /OV MBW253036 /TM 1729 /FL105 /TP C206 /SK FEW250 /TA M06 /TB NEG /RM SMTH=

Unfortunately, there is not much documentation of this format and the feed of this data contains a bunch of formatting errors.
