Will create a BUFR message printed to STDOUT based on data and metadata
in files <data file> and <metadata file> respectively.
Usage: $0 -d <data file> -m <metadata file>
or $0 --data <data file> --metadata <metadata file>
Options:
--help
Will print this help message and then exit
--outfile <filename>
Will print encoded BUFR messages to <filename> instead of STDOUT
--verbose n
Set verbose level to n, 0<=n<=3 (default 0). Verbose output is sent STDOUT,
so ought to be combined with option --outfile
--tablepath <path to BUFR tables>
If used, will set path to BUFR tables. If not set, will fetch tables
from the environment variable BUFR_TABLES, or if this is not set: will use
/usr/local/lib/emos/bufrtables/
For the metadata file, use this as prototype and change the values as desired:
BUFR_EDITION 4
MASTER_TABLE 0
CENTRE 98
SUBCENTRE 0
UPDATE_NUMBER 0
OPTIONAL_SECTION 0
DATA_CATEGORY 0
INT_DATA_SUBCATEGORY 0
LOC_DATA_SUBCATEGORY 255
MASTER_TABLE_VERSION 13
LOCAL_TABLE_VERSION 1
YEAR 2008
MONTH 9
DAY 1
HOUR 6
MINUTE 0
SECOND 0
OBSERVED_DATA 1
COMPRESSED_DATA 0
DESCRIPTORS_UNEXPANDED 308004 012005 002002
For BUFR edition < 4, replace the lines INT_DATA_SUBCATEGORY,
LOC_DATA_SUBCATEGORY, YEAR and SECOND with new lines DATA_SUBCATEGORY
and YEAR_OF_CENTURY (the order of lines doesn't matter).
For the data file, use the same format as would result if you did run
on the generated BUFR message
bufrread.pl <bufr file> --data_only | cut -c -31
(or if you use bufrread.pl with --width n, replace 31 with n+16).
For example, the file might begin with
1 001195 Newport
2 005002 51.55
3 006002 -2.99
4 004001 2008
...
Every time a new line starting with the number 1 is met, a new subset will be
generated in the BUFR message. Lines not starting with a number are ignored.
For missing values, use 'missing' or stop the line after the BUFR descriptor.
Associated values should use BUFR descriptor 999999.
To encode a NIL subset, all delayed replication factors should be set to 1, and
all other values set to missing except for the descriptors defining the station.
