# Python implementation: bufr_read_scatterometer
#
# Description: How to read data for a given beam from scatterometer BUFR
# messages.
#
# Please note that scatterometer data can be encoded in various ways in BUFR.
# Therefore the code below might not work directly for other types of messages
# than the one used in the example. It is advised to use bufr_dump first to
# understand the structure of these messages.

# The BUFR file contains a single message with 2016 subsets in a
# compressed form. It means each subset has exactly the same structure:
# they store one location with several beams and one backscatter value
# in each beam.

# To print the backScatter values for beamIdentifier=2 from all the
# subsets we will simply access the key by condition (see below)
# Get the total number of subsets.
