FORTRAN 90 Implementation: bufr_read_scatterometer ! ! Description: how to read data for a given beam from scatterometer BUFR messages. ! ! Please note that scatterometer data can be encoded in various ways in BUFR. Therefore the code ! below might not work directly for other types of messages than the one used in the ! example. It is advised to use bufr_dump first to understand the structure of these messages. program bufr_read_scatterometer use eccodes implicit none integer :: ifile integer :: iret integer :: ibufr integer :: i, count=0 integer(kind=4) :: numObs,ii real(kind=8), dimension(:), allocatable :: latVal,lonVal,bscatterVal real(kind=8), dimension(:), allocatable :: year call codes_open_file(ifile,'../../data/bufr/asca_139.bufr','r') !

We need to instruct ecCodes to expand all the descriptors ! i.e. unpack the data values call codes_set(ibufr,"unpack",1); ! The BUFR file contains a single message with 2016 subsets in a compressed form. ! It means each subset has exactly the same structure: they store one location with ! several beams and one backscatter value in each beam. ! ! To print the backScatter values for beamIdentifier=2 from all the subsets ! we will simply access the key by condition (see below). ! Read the total number of subsets. call codes_get(ibufr,'numberOfSubsets',numObs) write(*,'(A,I5)') "Number of values:",numObs ! Get latitude (for all the subsets) call codes_get(ibufr,'latitude',latVal); !
