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
