Synop Decoding

The perl script: decode_synop.pl decodes WMO SYNOP code in GTS format (decode_buoy.pl for the buoys). This is just a subroutine: you'll need one of the wrappers below, or your own, to see the output.

You will also want: guess_mon_year.pl and probably decode_a_synop.pl which is a wrapper. Or possibly decode_synops.pl (decode_buoys.pl), a wrapper to do more than one at a time., That also needs split_gts_synop.pl.

It requires perl, probably v5 and above, and probably only runs on unix.

The decode done is not complete - just the bits I was interested in, to be honest!

Sample input: hour01.raw

Sample output (producde by decode_synops.pl FILE=hour01.raw > hour01.raw.out): hour01.raw.out
