Hello Jordi, trollbufr only supports BUFR 3+4 (yet), since they are in circulation on the GTS. There is no simple fix to support BUFR 2. I'll have to read up the manuals before I can say if/when there's such support. Alex
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your fast reply. I hope you can find the time and the will to do it. It would be a very nice addition to trollbufr because many radar files circulating in Europe are still written in BUFR 2. If I can be of some help let me know but I warn you that I have no idea how bufr works :)
Hi Jordi, some other project took all my time :( Now, I've got some BUFR2 radar data I can test with. The differences between BUFR2 and BUFR3 should be in the metadata section "1", so decoding the data sections should be ok.
Hi Alex,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to have a look at it. In such case, could it be possible at least for now to modify the code so that it throws a warning instead of an exception and continues to decode the data? That would be a quick fix and we can see what to do with the metadata later on.
Hi @alexmaul ,
Can you let me know whether you are working on it and how long do you think it will take to find a solution?
No pressure but it would be good to know whether I would be able to use the package in a reasonable time or I have to work on another solution in the meanwhile.
If you need my help just let me know.
I'm back on it ... but havn't found documentation for the change between Ed.2 and Ed.3.
Dear pytroll members,
I wanted to test your trollbufr code with some radar QPE composites from MeteoFrance but I encountered the following issue: (pyrad) [figuerasiventuraj@sotrtm31-sidev ~]$ trollbufr3 -d -vv /utemp/mdso/figuerasiventuraj/QPE_composite/2020/10/02/202010022355 [DEBUG: bufr_main:351] Namespace(array=False, bulletin=None, desc=False, in_file=['/utemp/mdso/figuerasiventuraj/QPE_composite/2020/10/02/202010022355'], json_dump=False, json_encode=False, out_file=None, reader=True, sparse=False, tables_path='/usr/local/sopra/etc/bufrtables/', tables_type='eccodes', verbose=2) FILE 202010022355 [INFO: load_file:54] FILE /utemp/mdso/figuerasiventuraj/QPE_composite/2020/10/02/202010022355 [DEBUG: load_file:77] SEARCH AHL : 0 - 0 b'BUFR' : 0 matches > 0 [DEBUG: load_file:97] LOADED 7668358 B, 0 - 7668358 BUFR #0 (7668358 B) HEADER None [INFO: bufr:309] SECT 0..5 DECODE [DEBUG: bufr:316] SECT_0 offs:8 len:8 = {'size': 7668358, 'edition': 2} ERROR BufrDecodeError: BUFR edition 2 not supported [ERROR: bufr_main:148] BufrDecodeError: BUFR edition 2 not supported Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mdso/figuerasiventuraj/anaconda3/envs/pyrad/lib/python3.7/site-packages/trollbufr/bufr_main.py", line 69, in read_bufr_data bufr.decode_meta(blob, load_tables=False) File "/home/mdso/figuerasiventuraj/anaconda3/envs/pyrad/lib/python3.7/site-packages/trollbufr/bufr.py", line 318, in decode_meta raise BufrDecodeError("BUFR edition %d not supported" % self.edition) trollbufr.coder.errors.BufrDecodeError: BufrDecodeError: BUFR edition 2 not supported
Do you have a fix for that? I am just interested in reading the data in those files with Python, I do not strictly need to read the metadata. Any help would be very much welcome.
Kind regards,
Jordi
