# extract the station id, datetime, pressure and air temperature for two stations
# for all the available pressure levels into a pandas dataframe
df = pdbufr.read_bufr(
"temp.bufr",
columns=("WMO_station_id", "data_datetime", "pressure", "airTemperature"),
filters={"WMO_station_id": [71823, 71907]},
