Reading content from a NCEP HRRR model burf file #33

Closed blaylockbk closed 2 years ago

blaylockbk commented 2 years ago

I'm a bit naïve to how bufr files are organized, but I hope that pdbufr can read sounding files from NCEP's HRRR model. Can you offer any tips on how to read and filter this type of file with pdbufr if that is possible?

Here is an example file: https://noaa-hrrr-bdp-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/hrrr.20210927/conus/bufrsnd.t00z/bufr.000000.2021092700

When I try to read this file with pdbufr, 

FILE = "bufr.000000.2021092700"
pdbufr.read_bufr(FILE, columns=('latitude', 'longitude', 'airTemperature'))

I get HashArrayNoMatchError: Hash array no match. I wonder if this has to do with the subsets in the file structure.

When I list the contents of the file with bufr_ls, I get this...

bufr_ls bufr.000000.2021092700 | head
