Worked Example

This tarball contains a BUFR file which uses local descriptors as well as the definition files needed to decode the tables.
- Try decoding the BUFR file "
ikco_217.local.bufr
" using bufr_dump. This file uses a local table version (localTablesVersionNumber=66)
This should fail - Run codes_info to find the location of the default definitions
- Now set
ECCODES_DEFINITION_PATH
to include the provided "mydefs
" directory.
E.g.export ECCODES_DEFINITION_PATH=`pwd`/mydefs:`codes_info -d`
- Now see if ecCodes can decode the BUFR file
- Search the output of bufr_dump for the overridden unit "MyOwnUnits".
This was added as an example of a centre defining its own parameter attributes
