Python converter for RRFS/ [3D]-RTMA MSONE1 BUFR Data

[PraveenKumar-NOAA]

Description

Write a Python converter for the MSONE1 BUFR DUMP that converts a BUFR file into an IODA file for the following subset(s):

| NC255030 | A55030 | MTYP 255-030 Mesonet from MADIS: other than above |

• Identify all the subsets in MSONE1 data
• Extract the BUFR table
• Create a list of BUFR Mnemonics/queries
• Write a YAML converter
• Write a Python converter
• Use YAML/ Python API to convert a BUFR file into an IODA-formatted netCDF file
• Ioda obs validation using ioda-validate.x
• Perform validation for the observations using the input BUFR and output IODA file

Requirements

• All important mnemonics required by the RRFS/ [3D]-RTMA users need to be known.

Acceptance Criteria

• It will be finished when all files have been checked and tests have passed.

@ShunLiu-NOAA The subset, BUFR table, and BUFR queries information were extracted for the MSONE1 data. It was found that this data is a subset of the MSONET BUFR data, and no separate IODA converters (YAML and Python) are required for this datatype. A MSONET converter is sufficient.
