Decoding METARS

Here's a little quiz for you on MERTAR codes. It's to see how perceptive you are when you read a weather observation.
What are the differences suggested by the following METARS:

KABC METAR 121450Z AUTO 27010KT CLR 19/15 A3004 RMK A02

KDEF METAR 121450Z 27010KT CLR 19/15 A3004 RMK A02

KGHI METAR 121450Z 27010KT SKC 19/15 A3004

Note: I did a post a response to a question about this subject a few months back in a different forum. I thought it would be of interest to some of you here. I'll check back in a couple of days and see if anyone has the right answer..

Good Luck.. :-)
