FUTURE EVENTS 12 January 2010 EARS ASCAT and ERS-2 wind products will be encoded in BUFR Edition 4 format.Most BUFR decoding software will have no problems to read data in BUFR Edition 4, but in order to test your ingestion systems, KNMI have made some test data available: http://www.knmi.nl/scatterometer/ascat_20091130_103034_metopa_16163_ear_o_250_ovw.l2_bufr (EARS ASCAT) http://www.knmi.nl/scatterometer/scatt_20091130_113439_ers2___00000_ear_o_250_ovw.l2_bufr (EARS ERS-2) If you are using an older version of the decoding software from http://www.knmi.nl/scatterometer/bufr_reader/, it may be necessary to upgrade to the current software version. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact KNMI at scat@xxxxxxx.
