Python converter for RRFS/ [3D]-RTMA EFCLAM BUFR DATA #205

Closed PraveenKumar-NOAA closed 2 weeks ago

PraveenKumar-NOAA commented 1 month ago

Description

Write a Python converter for the EFCLAM 3[D]-RTMA/RRFS data that converts a BUFR file to an IODA file using bufr2ioda.x for the following subsets:

| NC012160 | A61109 | M TYPE 012-160 U.WI GOES Imager Effective Cld Amt data |

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.

Validation of the output IODA results, obtained using the efclam iPython API, is performed for the following two observations:

cloudAmount (ECAS) BUFR plot:

bufr_efclam_cloudAmount (1)

IODA plot:

efclam-ioda_cloudAmount (1)

cloudCoverAmount (ECAM) BUFR plot:

bufr_efclam_cloudCoverTotal (1)

IODA plot:

efclam-ioda_cloudCoverTotal (1)
