BUFRENC processes an ASCII input file to produce one or more
BUFR output files.
INPUT PARAMETERS
FXYTBL FXY table file
BUFRFIL BUFR output file
FHOUR Forecast hour
UKAFIL Intermediate input/output ASCII file
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
BUFRENC is a table-driven BUFR encoder program which reads
user input parameters, tables and an ASCII file to produce one
or more BUFR output files. The input parameters include FXY
file name, BUFR output file names, forecast hour and ASCII file.
The preferences table bufrprefs.tbl is used to specify applicable
geographic areas for SWM charts, as well as values for some
BUFR section 0, 1 and 3 data entries.
EXAMPLES
1. FXYTBL = fxyswhcld;fxyswhfrt
BUFRFIL =
FHOUR = 24
UKAFIL = SIGWXHI.txt
2. FXYTBL = SWH
BUFRFIL =
FHOUR = 18
UKAFIL = SIGWXHI.txt
3. FXYTBL = SWM
BUFRFIL =
FHOUR = 18
UKAFIL = SWM.txt
