Hi Josh,
There does not exist a program to convert bufkit sounding files into gempak
sounding files.
If you are able to reformat the bukfit sounding file you can then import the
data into a gempak sounding file using SNCFIL and SNEDIT
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/programs_index?sncfil
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/programs_index?snedit
Note the variable SNEFIL:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/gempak/manual/variables_index?snefil
"SNEFIL is a text file which may be created using the program SNLIST
with F as an output device. A text editor may be used to create or
change the edit file."
This file must be a properly formatted, so use SNLIST, as mentioned above, to
create a sounding file and use that as a template for creating your own
sounding file with the bukfit data.
This method might be difficult or easy depending on your familiarity with
GEMPAK programs, but beyond offering this I'm afraid we don't support bukfit
files.
The GEMPAK tutorial page for SNLIST will help you become familiar with how to
use the program if you have not before:
