# Python implementation:  bufr_read_scatterometer
#
# Description: How to read data for a given beam from scatterometer BUFR
#              messages.
#
# Please note that scatterometer data can be encoded in various ways in BUFR.
# Therefore the code below might not work directly for other types of messages
# than the one used in the example. It is advised to use bufr_dump first to
# understand the structure of these messages.

        # The BUFR file contains a single message with 2016 subsets in a
        # compressed form. It means each subset has exactly the same structure:
        # they store one location with several beams and one backscatter value
        # in each beam.
        #
        # To print the backScatter values for beamIdentifier=2 from all the
        # subsets we will simply access the key by condition (see below)
