DCPROF (Unidata)
DCPROF decodes BUFR format profiler reports from a real-time data
feed, or from a file fed to the program through standard input, and
writes the data to a GEMPAK merged upperair file. The program is
controlled by inputs to the command line.
The inputs are program options, the two BUFR table files and
the output file name or template.
For example, for real-time data feeds:
dcprof [options] bufrb_table bufrd_table output_file
If running the program interactively with standard input, the -c
option must be used. The input file must be also be specified.
For example:
dcprof -c YYMMDD/HHNN [options] bufrb_table bufrd_table output_file < input_file
A template may be used to specify the output file name. The file
name template uses the date and time of the bulletin or report
to replace the following characters.
YYYY Year with century
YY Year without the century
MM Month number
DD Day
HH Hour
NN Minute
