Craig, You can use netCDF package tool called ToolsUI, it's located at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/ Download the toolsUI jar file and run it or run it from webstart on the page. Then enter the bufr file name into the dataset entry. This should display the bufr file. Since there is no official documentation you will have to experiment with some of the tabs. The main code to decode the bufr data is called BufrIosp. The path to the code is: ucar.nc2.dt.iosp.bufr You might want to look at the tutorial and the Java Docs on the page too. Hope this helps, RObb... Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: WYZ-726010 Department: Support netCDF Decoders Priority: Normal Status: Open
