Each element in the data section of a BUFR can be missing.  ecCodes provides a simple way for the user to check if the value of an element is missing by comparing with two constants

!declare backscatter as double precision
real(kind=8), dimension(:), allocatable :: backscatter
 
!get the values
call codes_get(ibufr,'/beamIdentifier=2/backscatter',backscatter);
do i=1,size(backscatter)
    !compare with double precision missing
    if (backscatter(i)/=CODES_MISSING_DOUBLE) then
        !process non missing values
    else
        !process missing values
    endif
end do
