High density BUFR radiosonde code from NCEP

[gmao-msienkie]

Copied code from NCEP GSI used for assimilating 'uprair' BUFR files containing high density radiosondes from BUFR reports on the GTS.
Includes a bug fix from Josh for the vertical intepolation of HDraob observation error.
Use of this code requires BUFR library to be compiled with dynamic allocation. There is a branch in NCEP_Shared with changes for the bufrlib dynamic allocation and also a few updates to the code.

See GEOS-ESM/NCEP_Shared#33 for the revised bufr library

Meta, could you add jmccurry95 for this PR? Thanks.

[gmao-msienkie]

Adding @jmccurry95 (hope it works)
Nope, it won't let me add him as an assignee.

Label error. Requires at least 1 of: 0 diff, 0 diff trivial, Non 0-diff, 0 diff structural, 0-diff trivial, Not 0-diff, 0-diff, automatic, 0-diff uncoupled. Found: enhancement

I'm never sure how to mark situations like this. If the uprair files are assimilated the results will be zero diff. If they are not read in, I suspect these changes will be zero-diff. I put non-zero-diff but it could go either way.

Without other permissions I think I need to comment on the issue to be an assignee, so you should be able to add me now

I agree with @gmao-msienkie here. When a new feature introduces non-zero diffs, zero-diff is the feature is not exercised, that to me is typically a zero-diff change.

Now, if by touching nothing in the default settings, the code changes produces non-zero diffs, then the changes should be marked as non-zero diff.

You should know that changes in gmao_global_convinfo introduced here are not enough. These changes need to be put in the convinfo database.

The above means that the changes in this PR must be contingent on changes to the db:

Yes, I was reminded of that when working on a merge with develop. I am working on the changes in the GEOS_mksi and started a branch with the same name there.

I had started working on this code/branch with a checkout of GEOSadas-5.30.3 last year so there are some things lagging a bit. I need to get a newer tag checked out and pull my changes over since there are some other repositories that will have corresponding changes - e.g. obsys-nccs.rc when we establish a location for the 'uprair' files, the BUFR library change, possibly some others.

Also, Josh is testing and modifying the settings of these observation errors. He will submit another set of changes soon.
