Robb,

What kind of errors are you getting?


Melissa,

i wasn't decoding the compressed char data correctly but that's fixed now.
The difference I can think of offhand 
is use of some different table B descriptors.
is it possible for me to get the awips tables, A , B and D so i could use them as a reference. Also, what is the relationship between the awips tables and the NCEP tables?
Which other Bufr products are 
you decoding?


I'm working on a Java Bufr decoder for all Bufr products on the NOAA port
datastream.
Is it possible to get your Bufr decoder so I can use it to verify my output against it. 

Thanks,
RObb...

Hi Melissa,
I was referred to you as a contact person for an Bufr awips decoder for the MOS Guidance messages from the MDL folks. If your are not the correct contact, could you forward this message onto the correct person.
I'm working on a java general Bufr decoder and I'm having trouble decoding mostly the MOS reports. They are Bufr edition 2. My decoder correctly decodes the message up to the section 4 section length, and reserve octet but then it fails to decode the actual data. Is there something special about these reports? I know this is a terse description but I can supply an example with the details in follow up messages. Also, i was hoping to look at the awips decoder, but my fortran abilities are not the best so it might be hard to extract the algorithmn correctly. 


Thanks for your help,
Robb...
