	Met Office Surface Data Users Guide
		Although many of the requirements for the measurement of precipitation amount may be met by the stations in the climate network, it is important for some applications to be able to resolve detail on smaller space scales.
		Over the years, the observation branches of the Met Office have followed an agreed set of rules to determine whether measurements of rainfall should be considered as originating from a new source or rainfall number when the conditions under which rainfall observations are made changes.
		The accuracy requirements, which are met in most instances by the current synoptic network, are for speed to be measured within 1 knot or 10%, direction within 5 degrees and gust speeds within 10%.
