Malte, I forgot to mention that all the perl decoders expect the WMO input format. The format starts with a ^A and ends with a ^C. For the buoy data ^A^M 655 ^M SNVD20 KWBC 101400^M BBXX^M 44044 10141 99384 70765 46/// /3302 10226 20172 40083 91333 22200^M 00248=^M ^M ^C So you would either have to make your input conform to WMO standard or modify the buoy2nc to accept your input. Since it's perl it's easy to modify. Also, I don't think that there has been tests using the output from the buoy data in the IDV. I'll look at that today. Robb...
