# 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.

from __future__ import print_function
import traceback
import sys

INPUT = '../../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr'
VERBOSE = 1  # verbose error reporting


def example():
    # open bufr file
    f = open(INPUT, 'rb')

    # define the keys to be printed
    keys = [
        'blockNumber',
        'stationNumber',
        'latitude',
        'longitude',
        'airTemperatureAt2M',
        'dewpointTemperatureAt2M',
        'windSpeedAt10M',
        'windDirectionAt10M',
        '#1#cloudAmount',  # cloud amount (low and mid level)
        '#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.
