Hi Don,After a short break I have started looking into this again. Attached two surface SYNOP files in BUFR that load fine in toolsUI 4.2 but not in IDV 2.9u2.
I can open the files in IDV as "Netcdf /Gempak point data files" but when I try to view the data I get the following error:
ucar.ma2.ForbiddenConversionException

Hi Reinoud- On 10/19/10 7:43 AM, Reinoud Bokhorst wrote:Thank you for your fast response and fix.No problem. It was my bug, I figured I should fix it and I had a few spare cycles. ;-)This particular example now works. But when I try loading other samples from GTS (Global Telecom System) data it doesn't.. I am a bit confused now about the level of support of BUFR in IDV (after your fix that made it work) but as I understand it, it is only partly because the CDM supports it (correct me if I am wrong ;). Do you want more sample data at this point? Or rather wait until BUFR is officially going to be supported?Can you load all these other files in the ToolsUI? If they conform to what the CDM thinks are point or station obs, then they should be readable in the IDV. Although, the CDM implementation might not be correct. The IDV won't be able to handle soundings (profiles) or trajectories which the CDM might handle. Sample files would help.HP, yes I'll probably send a note to the User's Committee, although by no means I am an expert on this field.Cheers, Don
