Python converter for RRFS/ [3D]-RTMA LGYCLD BUFR DATA #219

Open PraveenKumar-NOAA opened 2 weeks ago

PraveenKumar-NOAA commented 2 weeks ago

Description

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

NC012003 -- A61203 | M TYPE 012-003 GPS - Integrated Precipitable Water NC012004 -- A62005 | M TYPE 012-004 Ground-based GNSS (GPS, etc.) data NC012150 -- A61111 | M TYPE 012-150 NASA Langley pixel-level cloud 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.

IODA Observation validation using the pressure and height observations: RRFS Test Data 2022052700 (rap.t00z.lgycld.tm00.bufr_d)

BUFR pressure: rrfs_bufr_lgycld_pressure (1)

IODA pressure: rrfs_lgycld-ioda_pressure_api

BUFR height: rrfs_bufr_lgycld_height (1)

IODA height: rrfs_lgycld-ioda_height_api
