! 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.

integer(kind=4)    :: blockNumber,stationNumber

  call codes_bufr_new_from_file(ifile,ibufr,iret)

  do while (iret/=CODES_END_OF_FILE)

    ! We need to instruct ecCodes to expand all the descriptors
    ! i.e. unpack the data values
    call codes_set(ibufr,"unpack",1)

    !read and print some data values. This example was written
    ! for a SYNOP BUFR file!

    ! wmo block number
    call codes_get(ibufr,'blockNumber',blockNumber)
    write(*,*) '  blockNumber:',blockNumber

    ! station number

    ! 2m temperature
    call codes_get(ibufr,'airTemperatureAt2M',t2m);

    ! The cloud information is stored in several blocks in the
    ! SYNOP message and the same key means a different thing in different
    ! parts of the message. In this example we will read the first
    ! cloud block introduced by the key
    ! verticalSignificanceSurfaceObservations=1.
    ! We know that this is the first occurrence of the keys we want to
    ! read so we will use the # (occurrence) operator accordingly.
