BKN

Okay, so I need to figure out what BKN stands for. Let me start by recalling where I might have heard that acronym before. I think it's related to aviation, maybe weather reports? Yeah, weather codes are often used in aviation to quickly communicate conditions.


Let me break it down. The user mentioned "BKN" and wants to know what it stands for. From what I remember, aviation weather reports use a three-letter code for sky conditions. The first letter is usually the cloud cover, like FEW (few clouds), SCT (scattered), BKN (broken), OVC (overcast), or SKC (clear). So BKN probably stands for Broken.


But wait, I should verify that. Let me think of other codes. FEW is few clouds, SCT is scattered, then BKN is broken, and OVC is overcast. SKC is clear, VCS is vertical visibility, etc. So yes, BKN is Broken. The number following it would indicate the altitude, like BKN2/10, meaning broken clouds at 10,000 feet. But the user just asked for what BKN stands for, so the answer is Broken clouds.


I should also make sure there aren't other meanings for BKN. In different contexts, BKN could mean something else, like a place or an abbreviation in another field. But given the context of aviation weather, which is a common use for these codes, it's most likely Broken. Let me check if there's any other possible meaning in aviation. Maybe a type of aircraft or a procedure? Not that I recall. So I'm pretty confident it's Broken clouds.






BKN stands for Broken clouds in aviation weather reporting. It is one of the standard sky cover codes used to quickly communicate cloud conditions. The number following BKN (e.g., BKN2/10) indicates the altitude and vertical extent of the cloud layer (e.g., 10,000 feet in this example).


Key Context:


Used in meteorological reports for pilots and air traffic control.
Other common codes include FEW (few), SCT (scattered), OVC (overcast), and SKC (clear).
