I agree that this is annoying. I found the information in several places.
First is the ASOS location table that the NWS has on-line:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/pub/modernize/asos.txt
Secondly, the McIDAS IDMSL table was recently updated to include most
(if not all) ASOS locations. Here are the results from the MSL command:
MSL CEZ:
IDN ID STATION NAME DATA TYPES ST CO LAT LON ELEV
724767 CEZ CORTEZ/MONTEZUMA CO W CO US 37:18N 108:38W 1803
MSL DRO:
IDN ID STATION NAME DATA TYPES ST CO LAT LON ELEV
724625 DRO DURANGO/LA PLATA CO W CO US 37:09N 107:45W 2038
MSL PPF:
IDN ID STATION NAME DATA TYPES ST CO LAT LON ELEV
724508 PPF PARSONS/TRI CITY KS US 37:20N 095:31W 274
You can access this table on line at:

Thirdly, you can check the GEMPAK station table on line at:

I'm cc'ing the nws-changes list on this because others probably have
the same question.
