Description
ECMWF has developed ecCodes: an application program interface developed for decoding and encoding messages in GRIB. ecCodes relies on a useful set of command line tools to provide quick access to the messages.
Learning objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be familiar with a set of command line tools which provide an easy way to access and modify information contained in a GRIB and BUFR messages. More specifically:
Understanding the use of ecCodes and obtaining information about its installation
Inspecting the content of GRIB files
Printing data values from GRIB messages
Comparing the content of GRIB messages
Copying GRIB messages
Making simple modifications to the GRIB header information
Audience
Programmers and researchers who need to decode ECMWF data to use it in their applications
