Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Good Afternoon,
I have NCEP prepbufr files that I would like to read with python. I
believe that
METplus can do this. At your convenience could you please help me with
this. I mainly
just want to get an inventory of the prepbufr files. I don't want to
convert them to netcdf or
ascii.
Many Thanks,
Sherrie Fredrick

Hi Sherrie.
I see that you are interested in getting an inventory of prepbufr
files.
The MET tool pb2nc offers an "-index" option, which does not generate
NetCDF output.
>From the MET User's Guide
<https://dtcenter.github.io/MET/v9.1/Users_Guide/reformat_point.html#pb2nc-
tool>
section on
pb2nc:
> 6. The -index option shows the available variables with valid data
from
> the BUFR input. It collects the available variable list from BUFR
input and
> checks the existence of valid data and directs the variable names
with
> valid data to the screen. The NetCDF output won’t be generated.
You can run the command in the following way:
> pb2nc <filename> -index
Here is an example of the log message output from a file:
pb2nc aqm.t12z.anowpm.pb.tm024 -index
> DEBUG 1: Header variables (8) :
> DEBUG 1: XOB: LONGITUDE
> DEBUG 1: YOB: LATITUDE
> DEBUG 1: YEAR:
> DEBUG 1: MNTH:
> DEBUG 1: DAYS:
> DEBUG 1: HOUR:
> DEBUG 1: MINU:
> DEBUG 1: SECO:
> DEBUG 1:
> DEBUG 1: Observation variables (9) Name: Description
> Types:
> DEBUG 1: TYPO: TYPE OF POLLUTANT
> ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: CAT: PREPBUFR DATA LEVEL CATEGORY
ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: PROCN: PROCESS NUMBER FOR THIS MPI RUN (OBTAINED FROM
SCRIPT)
> ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: SQN: REPORT SEQUENCE NUMBER
ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: TSIG: TIME SIGNIFICANCE
> ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: RPT: REPORTED OBSERVATION TIME
ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: TPHR: TIME PERIOD OR DISPLACEMENT
ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: COPOPM: CONCENTRATION OF POLLUTANT (PARTICULATE MATTER
DENSITY)
> ANOWPM
> DEBUG 1: QCIND: QUALITY CONTROL INDICATION OF FOLLOWING DATA
> ANOWPM
I hope that helps!
