Rich,The delay response is from being on vacation, I like that word. Anyhow I have talked about the TESAC decoder before with Ethan, it would be nice to develop a "generic decoder" to process many of the text bulletins in the 306 WMO manual of codes. There's over a hundred. Let me talk to Ethan again about this and let's see if we can get a game plan.

Robb, As the decoding guru, do you know if there is a decoder for the oceanographic data on the GTS in TESAC format (WMO FM64)? If there is no decoder, we (meaning Chris, cc'd here) were thinking of writing one (in Java, using NetCDF-Java) to convert from this to CF PointConvention NetCDF files. In this case any tips would be welcome! Thanks, Rich -- Dr. Richard P. Signell (508) 457-2229 USGS, 384 Woods Hole Rd. Woods Hole, MA 02543-1598
