SNRAWD decodes upper air data from a file of raw data and adds it to a sounding data set. INPUT PARAMETERS SNEFIL *Sounding edit file SNFILE *Sounding data file DATTIM *Date/time ADDSTN *Add station flag PROGRAM DESCRIPTION SNRAWD decodes raw upper air data and adds it to a sounding data set. The raw data should be included in a text file. The sounding data set must already exist and must be an unmerged data file. The individual reports are distinguished by searching for PP or TT. DATTIM is used to specify the range of data to be included in the file. Both the earliest and latest times to be included must be specified with the complete date/time. If the earliest time is not included, data from a 24-hour period will be used. Since the year and month are not included in the report data, the year and month from the last time will be used. Therefore, the data may not span months, except that data from the last day of the previous month will be decoded if the last time is the first day of the month. EXAMPLES 1. Decode the data archived on April 26 in the file APR26.UAIR and store it in the file APRIL.SND. SNEFIL = apr26.uair SNFILE = april.snd DATTIM = 920426/0000-920427/0300 ERROR MESSAGES [SNRAWD +2] Time ... is not within specified range. [SNRAWD +1] Warning: A bulletin is too big.
