Inquiry: Hi,
I\'m trying to decode and plot data from a temporary sonde sight
in australia. It is in TTAA/TTBB >format, I tried using dcuair
dcuair -c 060121/0000 -s stations.tbl test.gem < gardenpointsound
I then tried to plot it using snprof and nsharp. But it either won
\'t give me a location to select of >says \"no valid station\". I
set area = @AU:C, but doesn\'t seem to work. Is there a way to
make a >skew t without specifying the location?
Any help you could offer is much appreciated
Cheers,
Luke
Luke,
The first thing to verify is that your data was actually decoded by
dcuair. If
your data does not have the product delimeters, chances are, the
decoder said
[DC 2] Number of bulletins read and processed: 0
Make sure you are actually decoding data. If not, wrap your
products with
FOS or AFOS product delimeters, such as is shown here:

msg03796.html
Next, I'm assuming that your stations.tbl file has the id, latlon
etc for your
station you are decoding. Since your data is in TTAA format, the 5
digit WMO number
is part part of the product. You can specify this in your snprof
AREA as:
AREA = @#####
or globally,
AREA=dset
Using the WMO number will work even if the station wasn't found in
your station table to
define the country AU. You can verify what data is in your decoded
data file using
SNLIST, specify AREA=dset, dattim=060121/0000 and SNPARM=dset,
levels=all.
If your file has data for that time, you will see the station listed.
