Hi Rob,I need to read Quikscat files in an attempt to estimate DMS fluxes from tropical ocean. I was looking at writing a Java application and I stumbled across an abstract of yours for a presentation of a Java library built for just that purpose. I can't seem to find the library anywhere and wondered if you might point me to it...
Steve,the Bufr decoder isn't official released yet cuz i haven't had time to work on it but a couple of people have been using it successfully. it's available from the NetCDF and GRIB decoder page, in the download section.
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/decoders/ the tar file to get is: bufr-decoder-java_1.1.01.tar.gz since it's java, run ant in the home dir to build the distribution.there are java-docs available (ant javadoc), the main routines are BufrDump, BufrIndexer, and BufrGetData. The BufrGetData needs info from the BufrIndex to be able to extract a particular data block from the data. There is also a run file with some example command invocations. I know this is a terse explanation but i'm preparing for a workshop on monday.
Robb...
Thanks, Steve Conley, UC Davis.
