# Python implementation: bufr_read_synop
#
# Description: how to read data values from 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 to
# understand the structure of the messages.

# open bufr file

"#1#heightOfBaseOfCloud",
"#1#cloudType", # cloud type (low clouds)
"#2#cloudType", # cloud type (middle clouds)
"#3#cloudType", # cloud type (highclouds)

# 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 in the list above we used the # (occurrence) operator
# accordingly.
