[Ian Culverwell]

Add comment that L2 extrapolation is off by default to bufr/ropp2bufr_mod.f90, so that it appears when you ask for options to eum2bufr (it was only ever there for EUM input):

prompt:> eum2bufr -h

---------------------------------------------------------------------
                     EUMETSAT to BUFR Encoder
---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Purpose:
   Encode one or more EUMETSAT netCDF files to WMO BUFR.
 Usage:
    > eum2bufr eum_file [eum_file...] [-o bufr_file]
                        [-g[i]] [-s csn_file]
                        [-p thin_file|maxsamp] [-t time] [-r resn]
                        [-e] [-u] [-l] [-d] [-m] [-h] [-v]
 Input:
   One or more files in EUMETSAT netCDF-4 format.
 Output:
   BUFR file, one message or bulletin per input RO profile
 Options:
   -o  BUFR output file name
   -g  GTS routing headers/trailers required
   -gi GTS headers preceded by 10-byte leading
       size/type for GTS IP (FTP) transmission
   -s  file containing last used channel sequence number
       (updated on completion)
   -p  thinning control file name or max. no. samples
   -t  don't encode data older than 'time' ago (hh:mm)
   -u  leave profiles unordered (i.e. in original height order)
   -l  L1+L2 data (Level 1b) are not to be encoded,
       only the ionospheric-corrected profile.
   -m  met. data (Level 2c/d) are not to be encoded
   -e  take L2 extrapolated bending angle from netCDF4 EUM file
   -r  resolution group of netCDF-4 EUM file
   -d  outputs additonal diagnostics to stdout
   -h  this help
   -v  version information
 Defaults:
   Input  file name        : none - at least one required
   Output file name        : from (first) occultation ID <occid>.bufr
   GTS routing headers     : not generated
   Channel sequence nos.   : starts at 001
   Reject time difference  : 00:00 (no rejection on time)
    unless -g* option, when: 23:50 (assuming NRT on GTS)
   Thinning                : sample to <= 375 levels
   Re-ordering             : descending profiles re-ordered to ascending 
   Resolution              : 'thinned' 
   L2 bending angle        : not extrapolated
 See eum2bufr(1) for details.

I don't think there's a need to update the man page, as mentioned in the output above, as that doesn't list the defaults anyway.

Commit this change at r5938.

It probably is worth adding the same comment to the header of tools/eum2bufr_ec.f90, so that the same comment appears in the ROPP io reference manuals. Do this at r5939. (Note that the change to doc/rm_io.tex includes some of the other changes to the ropp_io module that have been made recently, because we don't routinely update this file for every change. I suggest we leave it that way. It provides a nice record of the changes, anyway.)

Closing ticket.
