Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
John, is there a way I can easily determine the date (central date) of a 6 hour prepbufr file? When I run PB2NC, there is a middle date time of the file output in the listing. I would like to access this date time field before I process in PB2NC. We rename this files with the applicable date in the filename. If the come in late, then the date can be wrong.
Also, I made the netCDF changes you recommended and those are working in the CF-1.7 type file.
Thanks
Bob

One option is running pb2nc to get the center time by handling only
one PrefBufr message. This took less than one second at our machine.
pb2nc supports "-nmsg" argument which specifies the number of messages
to be processed.
-nmsg 1 : process only 1 message
-nmsg 100 : process first 100 messages
-nmsg 10% : process first 10% messages
So pb2nc with "-nmsg 1 -v 2" arguments shows the Center time quickly.
The following command gives the center time:
pb2nc ... -v 2 -nmsg 1 | grep "Time Center" | awk '{print $6;}'
Cheers,
Howard
