subroutine w3unpk77	(	integer, dimension(4)	idate,
			ihe,
			ihl,
			lunit,

This subroutine decodes a single report from bufr messages in a jbufr-type data file.

Currently wind profiler, nexrad (vad) wind and goes sounding/radiance data types are valid. Report is returned in quasi-office note 29 unpacked format (see remarks 4.).

1997-09-18	Dennis Keyser	Added instrument data used in processing,

solar zenith angle, and satellite zenith angle to list of parameters returned from goes sounding/radiance data type 1998-07-09 | Dennis Keyser | Modified wind profiler cat. 11 (height, horiz. significance, vert. significance) to account for updates to bufrtable mnemonics in /dcom; changed char. 6 of goes stnid to be unique for two different even or odd satellite id's (every other even or odd sat. id now gets same char. 6 tag) 1998-08-19 | Dennis Keyser | Subroutine now y2k and fortran 90 compliant 1999-03-16 | Dennis Keyser | Incorporated bob kistler's changes needed to port the code to the ibm sp 1999-05-17 | Dennis Keyser | Made changes necessary to port this routine to the ibm sp 1999-09-26 | Dennis Keyser | Changes to make code more portable 2002-03-05 | Dennis Keyser | Accounts for changes in input proflr (wind profiler) bufr dump file after 3/2002: cat. 10 surface data now all missing (mnemonics "pmsl", "wdir1","wspd1", "tmdb", "rehu", "reqv" no longer available); cat. 11 mnemonics "acavh", "acavv", "spp0", and "nphl" no longer available; header mnemonic "npsm" is no longer available, header mnemonic "tpse" replaces "tpmi" (avg. time in minutes still output); number of upper-air levels incr. from 43 to up to 64 (size of output "rdata" array incr. from 600 to 1200 to account for this) (will still work properly for input proflr dump files prior to 3/2002)

Parameters

[in]	IDATE	4-word array holding "central" date to process (yyyy, mm, dd, hh)
[in]	IHE	Number of whole hours relative to "idate" for date of earliest bufr message that is to be decoded; earliest date is "idate" + "ihe" hours (if "ihe" is positive, latest message date is after "idate"; if "ihe" is negative latest message date is prior to "idate") example: if ihe=1, then earliest date is 1-hr after idate; if ihe=-3, then earliest date is 3-hr prior to idate
[in]	IHL	Number of whole hours relative to "idate" for date of latest bufr message that is to be decoded; latest date is "idate" + ("ihl" hours plus 59 min) if "ihl" is positive (latest message date is after "idate"), and "idate" + ("ihl"+1 hours minus 1 min) if "ihl" is negative (latest message date is prior to "idate") example: if ihl=3, then latest date is 3-hr 59-min after idate; if ihl=-2, then latest date is 1-hr 1-min prior to idate
[in]	LUNIT	Fortran unit number for input data file
[out]	RDATA	Single report returned an a quasi-office note 29 unpacked format (see remarks 4.) (minimum size is 1200 words)
[in,out]	IRET	[in] Controls degree of unit 6 printout (.ge. 0 -limited printout; = -1 some additional diagnostic printout; = .lt. -1 -extensive printout) (see remarks 3.) [out] Return code as follows: IRET = 0 —> Report successfully returned IRET > 0 —> No report returned due to: = 1 —> All reports read in, end = 2 —> Lat and/or lon data missing = 3 —> Reserved = 4 —> Some/all date information missing = 5 —> No data levels processed (all levels are missing) = 6 —> Number of levels in report header is not 1 = 7 —> Number of levels in another single level sequence is not 1

Remarks

1 A condition code (stop) of 15 will occur if the input dates for start and/or stop time are specified incorrectly.
2 A condition code (stop) of 22 will occur if the characters on this machine are neither ascii nor ebcdic.
