Dear list

and i want to convert it to ascii and derive from the various fields that 
has horizontal visibility. Finally i want the ascii file to has these fields: 
Station lat lon  Year Month Day Time Visibility
 Do you  know what procedure should i follow to convert from bufr to ascii?
Hiya,
There is a Java prototype bufr library in the Unidata decoder ftp 
directory, called bufr-decoder-java_1.1.01.tar.gz.   As stated it's a 
prototype but it does have a routine called bufrdump that dumps out to 
ascii. I didn't test it on the attached file because I'm busy preparing 
for a training workshop.
Robb...
  I am also attaching a file in bufr format that i want to convert.
 If you do not use grads for bufr decoding please tell me what software you use 
for bufr decoding and convert to ascii
  Thanks in Advance for your time
