The SHEF export exports scalar time series to SHEF file format (Standard Hydrometeorological Exchange Format) . Only the format type .E is supported in FEWS versions earlier than 2018.02.
In FEWS 2019.02 additional export options for SHEF format .B and .A records have been added.
The SHEF coding manual is provided by the US National Weather Service online and can be downloaded from the SHEF Information page.
