! FORTRAN 90 Implementation: bufr_read_synop
!
! Description: how to read SYNOP BUFR messages.
 
! Please note that SYNOP reports can be encoded in various ways in BUFR. Therefore the code
! below might not work directly for other types of SYNOP messages than the one used in the
! example. It is advised to use bufr_dump first to understand the structure of these messages.
