BUFR decoding fails for New Caledonia radar (Meteo-France local table)

[tuantba]

1. Description

The BUFR decoding process using this repository works correctly for several regions (e.g. Metropole, Réunion, Antilles), but fails when processing data from New Caledonia.

The decoder fails due to missing local BUFR tables and results in incorrect decoding of both metadata and time fields.

FATAL: Unknown sequence 301001, cannot continue

3. Suspected cause

• Originating centre: 85 (likely TAAF / New Caledonia / overseas territory feed)
• Requires specific local BUFR tables (version 8/85/0) which are not included in repository
• Sequence 301001 is not present in fallback WMO tables
• Time decoding likely depends on correct descriptor interpretation (currently misaligned due to missing tables → corrupt datetime)

Because this platform doesn't allow uploading BUFR files, you can download my sample BUFR file via this URL:
