This is the format:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BUFR

I see that there is a library for that:
http://www.ecmwf.int/products/data/software/bufr.html

Is this gridded or point data? Say, rendering in a map is possible?
Perhaps it would be a better to ask the GDAL folks for addition
since GRASS uses mostly GDAL/OGR for interoperability.
