[Met_help] [Fwd: PrepBufr format needed for METv1.0]

[John Halley Gotway]

Lacey,

If you get a chance, would you be able to point these folks in the right
direction regarding PrepBufr data?

If you're too busy with other things, I'll get back to them next week.

Thanks,
John

Hello John,
Bosko Telenta  has installed the METv1.0 here at SENES  and we intend
to use it for the verification of our WRF NNM  model. In order to use
Point-Stat Tool we need point observations at PrepBufr
format.  Please advise where we can get software to convert
observations from ASCII to that requested format. Is it the same as
BUFR code used for coding the observations collected through GTS?
Thank you in advance.
Svetlana
