3. EXCHANGE OF AIR-REPORTS 3.1 Responsibilities of the meteorological watch offices 3.1.1 The meteorological watch offices shall assemble the routine air-reports received by voice communications and shall disseminate them to WAFCs and other meteorological offices in accordance with regional air navigation agreement. Note.— The exchange of collectives on an hourly basis may be found desirable when reports are numerous. 3.1.2 The meteorological watch office shall transmit without delay the special air-reports received by voice communications to WAFCs. 3.1.3 The meteorological watch office shall transmit without delay special air-reports of pre-eruption volcanic activity, a volcanic eruption or volcanic ash cloud received to the associated VAACs. 3.1.4 When a special air-report is received at the meteorological watch office but the forecaster considers that the phenomenon causing the report is not expected to persist and, therefore, does not warrant issuance of a SIGMET, the special air-report shall be disseminated in the same way that SIGMET messages are disseminated in accordance with Appendix 6, 1.2.1, i.e. to meteorological watch offices, WAFCs, and other meteorological offices in accordance with regional air navigation agreement. 3.2 Responsibilities of world area forecast centres Air-reports received at WAFCs shall be further disseminated as basic meteorological data. Note.— The dissemination of basic meteorological data is normally carried out on the WMO global telecommunication system. 3.3 Supplementary dissemination of air-reports Recommendation.— Where supplementary dissemination of air-reports is required to satisfy special aeronautical or meteorological requirements, such dissemination should be arranged between the meteorological authorities concerned. 3.4 Format of air-reports Air-reports shall be exchanged in the format in which they are received, except that when voice communications are used, if the position is given by reference to an ATS reporting point, it shall be converted, by the meteorological watch office, into the corresponding latitude and longitude.
