1 month ago Performed validation of the ioda-obs in the output ioda file generated using the Python API and following results were obtained:

Description
Write a Python converter for the LGHTNG 3[D]-RTMA/RRFS data that converts a BUFR file to an IODA file using bufr2ioda.x for the following subsets:
NC007000 | A62121 | MTYPE 007-000 SYNOPTIC FEATURES - TROPICAL STORMS NC007001 | A62122 | MTYPE 007-001 VAISALA LIGHTNING (NLDN SHORT-RANGE) NC007002 | A62123 | MTYPE 007-002 VAISALA LIGHTNING (LLDN LONG-RANGE) NC007003 | A62125 | MTYPE 007-003 EARTH NETWORKS LIGHTNING NC007021 | A62124 | MTYPE 007-021 BDRY LAYER HGHT FROM NEXRAD LVL 2 DECODER
Use Python API to convert a BUFR file into an IODA-formatted netCDF file Ioda obs validation using ioda-validate.x Perform validation for the observations using the input BUFR and output IODA file
Requirements All important mnemonics required by the RRFS/ [3D]-RTMA users need to be known.
Acceptance Criteria It will be finished when all files have been checked and tests have passed.
