bufrscan output

Wed Apr 30 09:58:34 EDT 2008

Hi there.

I am trying to use the bufrscan utility on EUMETSAT's Instability Index
Bufr files, however the values I am extracting are decidedly wrong.  I
am using the version 12 tables.
My processed output is as follows.  The values for all fields appear to
be within an expected range, but they are not correct or even sequential.

subset          satellite_id    origin_cent     Description
resolution_m    resolution_n    year            month
day             hour            minute          second
row             column          centre_lat      centre_lon
sat_zenith      KI              KO

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be going wrong?

Thanks a lot.
Mark
