debufr

This program decodes a BUFR file and writes a verbose listing of the contents to the file specified via the -o option. If a DX BUFR Tables file is specified (using the -f option) or if the specified BUFR file contains an embedded DX BUFR tables message as the first message in the file, then this information is used to decode the data messages in the file. Otherwise, or whenever the -m option is specified, master BUFR tables are read and used to decode the data messages in the file.

Usage:

   debufr [-v] [-h] [-b] [-c] [-m] [-o outfile] [-t tabledir] [-f tablefil] [-p prmstg] bufrfile

     where:
       -v        prints version information and exits

       -h        prints program help and usage information and exits

       -b        specifies the "basic" option, meaning that only the
                 information in Sections 0-3 will be decoded from each
                 BUFR message in the bufrfile, and no attempt will be
                 made to decode the data in Section 4

       -c        specifies that code and flag table meanings should not
                 be read from master BUFR tables and included in the
                 output; otherwise this feature is enabled by default

       -m        specifies that master BUFR tables will be used to
                 decode the data messages in the file, regardless of
                 whether it contains any embedded DX BUFR table
                 messages.  This option can be used to view the actual
                 contents of DX BUFR table messages, which otherwise
                 would not be printed in the output listing.

       outfile   [path/]name of file to contain verbose output listing.
                 The default is "bufrfilename.debufr.out" in the current
                 working directory, where bufrfilename is the basename of
                 the bufrfile (i.e. bufrfile with any preceding [path/]
                 removed).

       tabledir  [path/]name of directory containing tables to be used
                 for decoding.  This directory contains the DX BUFR
                 tables file to be used (if one was specified
                 via the -f option), or it may contain all of the master
                 BUFR tables when these are being used to decode a
                 file.  If unspecified, the default directory location is
                 the defined value of the MASTER_TABLE_DIR macro when the
                 utility was built.

       tablefil  file within tabledir containing DX BUFR tables
                 to be used for decoding.

       prmstg    string of comma-separated PARAMETER=VALUE pairs, up to a
                 maximum of 20.  For each pair, the dynamic allocation
                 PARAMETER will be set to VALUE within the underlying
                 BUFRLIB software, overriding the default value that
                 would otherwise be used.  A complete list of parameters
                 that can be dynamically sized is included within the
                 documentation for BUFRLIB function isetprm().

       bufrfile  [path/]name of BUFR file to be decoded

readbp

A utility to read prepbufr files which prints each report one at a time, or jumps to a report with characteristics defined by various keys such as report type, subset type, xy locagtion, station id, etc. Keys can be entered as arguments to the program or entered while the program is running. Basic operation is to print one report at a time with the default being starting at the beginning and continuing until the end or the user enters 'q'. The following summary is printed if the program is run without arguments.

 Usage: readbp <-s> <-w> <m> <-k> <-r> <-d> <-n> <-h>  prep bufrfile

 Search filter and/or print prepbufr reports in various ways

 -s "station_id " print reports where "station_id" matches the report id up to the len of "station_id"
 -w "x1 x2 y1 y2" print reports within a lon/lat box
 -m "subset     " print reports with this subset name
 -k "gsi  rtype " print reports with this gsi report type
 -r "on29 rtype " print reports with this on29 report type
 -d               print reports using ufdump - note: this works with any NCEP BUFR file
 -n               no pause between reports output
 -h               print only report headers

 Only a filename is required in which case step through the reports one at a time using "enter"

 Optional arguments can also be applied in the pause between reports output without using  a dash

 Optional arguments will be applied in concert in most cases

cmpbqm

An inventory of prepbufr observations by variable, report type, and quality mark made from a prepbufr file. The ob type,total count,and quality marks are listed by column. The cka and ckb columns are counts of observed values with missing qm, or qms with missing observations. The cka and ckb should be zero but sometimes they're not. The qm values are found in bufr code tables, but below a quick summary. The GSI qms are added by a program run by the fit2obs system which copies that information from the convstat files. The sample output prepbufr was after prep but pre-analysis.

Quality Marker Description
0 keep flag
1 passed checks and/or corrected by cqc
2 not checked
3 suspicious
4-7 rejected by oiqc (original mark + 4)
8 Ps more than 100mb off
9 filtered by missing ob errors in gsi error table
10 rejected by gsi gross check
11 rejected by gsi varqc
12 on manual reject list
13 rejected by cqc or acqc
14 sdm reject (manual purge)
15 rejected by prepdata code (ie failed various sanity checks)
cka a non-missing value with a missing quality mark
ckb a missing value with a non-missing quality mark

split_by_subset

A utility to read any BUFR file and split it into separate BUFR files based on message subset type. To preview which files will be produced (one for each m/s type) use binv (documented above).

See the source code at split_by_subset.f90

Usage: split_by_subset gdas.20200812/00/gdas.t00z.satwnd.tm00.bufr_d


xbfmg

This program splits a single file containing one or more BUFR messages into one or more BUFR files each containing a single BUFR message. The output BUFR files are written to the current working directory, according to a pre-defined naming convention as described below.

Usage:

   xbfmg [-v] [-h] [-g] bufrfile

     where:
       -v        prints version information and exits

       -h        prints program help and usage information and exits

       -g        preserves within each output file any GTS bulletin header and control
                 characters associated with the corresponding BUFR message from the
                 input file

       bufrfile  [path/]name of input file containing one or more BUFR messages to be
                 extracted into separate output files within the current working directory

   The output will be stored within the current working directory using the
   following filenames:

       (basename).xbfmg.out.000001
       (basename).xbfmg.out.000002
       (basename).xbfmg.out.000003
         and so on, up through 
       (basename).xbfmg.out.(last#)

   where:

       (basename) = basename of bufrfile

       (last#) = total number of BUFR messages in bufrfile
