SNBUFR

     SNBUFR is the name of the BUFR model sounding file to be used as input
     to create GEMPAK sounding and surface data files using program NAMSND.

     The first message of the BUFR file must be a table of information
     about the file contents.

     If the BUFR sounding file name is followed by |sss=#####, where sss
     is a 3-character station ID and ##### is the corresponding station
     number, then an ASCII file named prof.sss is generated.  This
     file will contain only the output for station #####.  For example,
 
		SNBUFR = eta.T00Z.class1.bufr|pit=72520

     creates an ASCII file prof.pit containing sounding data for station
     72520.
 
     The number of stations and times which may be written to the output 
     files is determined by TIMSTN.
