Re: BUFR Errors Processing PMEL Buoys

Hi Kevin, Bill:

you need to use ucar.nc2.iosp.bufr.BufrIosp2 not ucar.nc2.iosp.bufr.BufrIosp.

The fact that you didnt get a "class not found" error means that you still have the old code in your classpath somewhere, so you need to track that down.

another way to test these things is to use the ToolsUI tab IOSP/BUFR, and open the BUFR file in that tab and see what you get. Bit of a learning curve but should be worth it in the long run.

see home page to downloading ToolsUI.jar.:

Cheers,

Hi John -

I hope you are enjoying the GO-ESSP meeting.  I'm sad I'm not there..

Below is a forwarded message from our guy at NDBC who is trying to use the new mooring templates in Java netCDF 4.5.4. He's still getting a error that indicates the new 3-15-008 mooring descriptor is not found in the BUFR table.    I believe he included sample file...

Let me know if this helps, or if I should forward this on to some one else, so you can focus on the big picture!  :)

Best,

kevin

The calling line is:

...
byte[] mbytes = scan.getMessageBytes(m);
NetcdfFile ncfile = NetcdfFile.openInMemory("test", mbytes, "ucar.nc2.iosp.bufr.BufrIosp");
NetcdfDataset ncd = new NetcdfDataset(ncfile);
...

It generates this error:

I've attached a sample file that produces it:
