On page 84 of the 7900.5C, it reads:
Now for an example: SCT020 BKN040 RMK CIG LWR N
Does the remark mean that the 4,000 foot deck is somewhat lower to the north;
or can the remark mean that the 2,000 foot deck is forming a ceiling to the north?
11.34.Non-Uniform Sky Cover. Observers must be alert to variations in sky condition that are not
reflected in the sky cover reported in the body of the observation. When non-uniform sky conditions
are observed (for example, a significant lower ceiling in a particular direction from the station), the
observer must describe the condition in the remarks section. Unless a height is available from a reliable
source, the height must be described in relation to the heights reported in the body of the report. For
example, CIG LWR N would indicate that ceilings are lower to the north.
