The aim of this course is to introduce students to GRIB/BUFR decoding and encoding with ecCodes : A package developed by ECMWF which provides an application programming interface and a set of tools for decoding and encoding GRIB and BUFR messages.

Note: The version of the ecCodes software used for this training course is now released (v2.10.0). Please see here.

The course is a mixture of standard classroom lectures and practical activities where ecCodes will be used to solve challenges.

The aim of the course is to provide participants with an advance knowledge on ecCodes for decoding and encoding GRIB and BUFR data.

At the end of the course, the participants will be able:

The course is assessed by means of an online survey which allows the participants to include their feedback and suggestions for improvements. The learning outcomes are assessed separately using a self-evaluation method.
