Frédéric P.A. Vogt submitted the

                metsymb

package.

Version: 1.2.0
License: bsd3

Summary description: The package provides dedicated TeX commands to generate (vectorial) meteorological symbols

Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The metsymb package introduces commands to generate official meteorological
symbols with vectorial quality. As of this release, these include: oktas
(\zerookta, \oneokta, \twooktas, \ldots), cloud genera (\cirrus, \cirrostratus,
\nimbostratus, ...), and C_L / C_M / C_H cloud codes (\clIII, \cmVI, \chIX,
...).

Individual symbols are designed using TikZ. They are then bundled into a
dedicated font with FontForge, and eventually tied to dedicted LaTeX commands.
The metsymb OpenType font is a side-product that can be used on its own. The
project lives on Github: https://github.com/MeteoSwiss/metsymb
