Question: 1 / 400

In a METAR report, which code indicates the wind direction?

DSC

KT

The correct answer, which indicates the wind direction in a METAR report, is represented by the code that includes "KT." In METAR reports, wind direction is typically expressed in degrees true, followed by the wind speed in knots, denoted by "KT." For instance, if the wind is coming from 270 degrees at 10 knots, it would appear as "27010KT" in the METAR data.

The other codes referenced in the options have different meanings. "DSC" typically relates to wind variation but is not the primary indicator of wind direction. "SM" stands for statute miles, commonly used for visibility reporting, while "RMK" is used to indicate remarks or additional comments included in a METAR report but does not pertain to wind direction. Therefore, "KT" is the definitive code that reflects wind speed and direction in a METAR report.
