COR

Corrected Observation

Indicates that the METAR is a correction to a previously issued observation. When an error is found in a routine or special observation, the corrected report replaces the original. The COR indicator appears near the beginning of the METAR, before the station identifier, to alert users that this supersedes an earlier report.
