It's at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmobufr/ Version 1.4.1 ... - is MUCH faster and handles multiple input files. - handles BUFR editions 2, 3, and 4. - handles BUFR compression. - has print and XML output content controls. - provides multiple print output files. - has optional data validation. Background: Wmobufr is an open source Java package for translating WMO BUFR files into XML. The wmobufr package offers both a Java API for reading BUFR files and a command-line utility to translate BUFR files into XML. The WMO BUFR format is widely used for observational weather data. The format uses about 750 tables to encode observations into bit strings. The tables and format are specified in standards published by the WMO, the World Meteorological Organization. The wmobufr package includes the WMO version 13 BUFR tables. The package is released under the BSD open source license. The package is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmobufr/ If you have questions or concerns, please email me.
