Hi,

I'm just discovering the complex BUFR file format supplied by meteofrance as public radar data, and I'm far away from my comfort zone (web development & GIS "standard" formats).
For a few days I've been trying to find tools that will allow me to convert data to more friendly data formats.

Sadly, the local tables supplied by meteofrance only work with the OPERA tools, and so far it hasn't been a very good experience.
I'm trying to work with tools based on eccodes, in particular some Python librairies that look interesting (pybufr, eccodes-python).
So I tried to find a way to convert CSV files to eccodes definitions, but I discovered that it was a big problem for a lot of people and projects around the world.
Then I found your repository, and it was the best basis I can find for completing this task. Thanks for sharing your work.

I was able to understand how a few scripts work (convert_tableb_to_element.py, convert_tabled_to_sequence.py), but I can't go any further with my humble knowledge at the moment. I'm missing some documentation.

I had to add some error handling for an error caused by wrong data in one CSV file. 😔 Instead of valid data the meteofrance CSV contained '[GC threshold exceeded with 12,014,472 bytes in use. Commencing GC.]', '[GC completed with 277,360 bytes retained and 11,737,112 bytes freed.]' and '[GC will next occur when at least 12,277,360 bytes are in use.]'.

With some guidance, I'll be glad to work on this interesting project and add some documentation too.
From what I've read in the last few days, this repo should be better known because it should be of interest to a lot of people. I was surprised to see so many people struggling with these BUFR files from meteofrance.
