BUFR Macro functions

Due to the nature of the data, the macro language provides little in the way of functions to process BUFR data - you can only merge and/or plot them.

If you need to do more, you have to convert them to geopoints using the obsfilter() request. .

bufr (observations & observations)

bufr merge (bufr, bufr)

Merges two sets of BUFR.

bufr obsfilter ( definition )

geopoints obsfilter ( definition )

This function accepts BUFR input, filters out part of that input (optional) and returns BUFR data (default) or geopoints (if user so specifies) in one of three Geopoints formats. See obsfilter() for details.
