ecCodes provides a simple way to define the structure of a BUFR message using the key "bufrTemplate".
Here are all the available values for this key:

Feb 20, 2016Are the expanded list of descriptors (and corresponding ecCodes key names) available somewhere for these templates?

Feb 24, 2016Related to the above question, is there a key defining which type of observation is contained in the currently loaded BUFR message? E.g. a key containing the names of the templates given above. Otherwise, which key(s) should one use to identify an observation?
