Parameters

[in]

LUNIT

- integer: Fortran logical unit number for BUFR file

Remarks

• This subroutine will execute a Fortran "CLOSE" on logical unit LUNIT, even though subroutine openbf() didn't previously handle the corresponding Fortran "OPEN" of the same file.
• It's a good idea to call this subroutine for every LUNIT that was opened to the software via openbf(); however, it's especially important to do so when writing/encoding a BUFR file, in order to ensure that all output is properly flushed to LUNIT.

Program history log:

• 1994-01-06 J. Woollen – Original author
• 2003-11-04 J. Ator – Don't close lunit if opened as a NULL file by openbf()
• 2003-11-04 S. Bender – Added remarks and routine interdependencies
• 2003-11-04 D. Keyser – Unified/portable for WRF; added history documentation
• 2012-09-15 J. Woollen – Modified for C/I/O/BUFR interface; added call to closfb() to close C files
• 2014-12-10 J. Ator – Use modules instead of COMMON blocks
• 2020-07-16 J. Ator – Add sanity check to ensure that openbf() was previously called (needed for GSI)
