actually, i remember that this can't be set acturately for all the fields, so i
set it to the maximum for the fields using Pressure variable (0-7-4). the idea
was to give an estimate about the size, not the actual value. the data size
can be determine when the data is access using bufrdata.length after the data
is obtained.
float[] bufrdata = bd.getFloatData();
size = bufrdata.length;

Robb,
I have put the following files on ftp.ssec.wisc.edu:/pub/incoming
MSG1-SEVI-MSGAMVE-0100-0100-20060715234500.000000000Z-135382.bfr and it's index
file MSG1-SEVI-MSGAMVE-0100-0100-20060715234500.000000000Z-135382.bfr.bfx The
index file says that wind speed and direction have a dimension of 11, but I
have found it to only have a dimension of 5. In BufrIndexer.java, I see some
code when writing out Section 3 that says:
if( bd.getVarCount() < 5 ) {
ps.println( bd.getKey() +"\t"+ bd.getVarCount() +"\t"+
bd.isNumeric() +"\t"+ bd.getName() +"\t"+ bd.getUnits() );
if (makeIndex) index.addParameter( bd.getKey(),
bd.getVarCount(),
bd.isNumeric(), bd.getName(), bd.getUnits() );
} else {
ps.println( bd.getKey() +"\t"+ maxLevelDim +"\t"+
bd.isNumeric() +"\t"+ bd.getName() +"\t"+ bd.getUnits() );
if (makeIndex) index.addParameter( bd.getKey(), maxLevelDim,
bd.isNumeric(), bd.getName(), bd.getUnits() );
}
So, for dims greater than 5, it displays the maxLevelDim?? The file has a
Pressure variable (0-7-4) and I think this is where the dimension is set, as
that dimension is 11.
else {
bd = (BufrData) bufrdatas.get( "0-7-4" );
//ps.println( "0-7-4 ="+ bd.getName() );
if( bd != null ) {
dim = bd.getVarCount();
maxLevelDim = dim;
} else {
dim = 1;
maxLevelDim = 1;
}
}
Anyway, not sure what this all means.
The file above has the data for Atmospheric Motion Vectors derived from MSG.
Thanks!
Kevin
