Update use_v3 list in wmo_config.py #181

Closed patrickjwright closed 9 months ago

patrickjwright commented 9 months ago

In response to Robert's email:

We made some updates to the PROMICE AWSs:

QAS_M decommissioned, replaced by QAS_Mv3
QAS_U decommissioned, but we have QAS_Uv3
NUK_U decommissioned, but we have NUK_Uv3
There is a new KAN_Lv3

All four of these stations should be in stid_to_skip['use_v3'].

For review, any station listed in stid_to_skip will be skipped in getBUFR. However, if we are processing a v3 station (e.g. NUK_Uv3) and the "base" station name (e.g. NUK_U) is listed in stid_to_skip['use_v3'] then we will process the v3 station and strip the v3 from the name so we are submitting to WMO with the registered non-v3 name.

The discontinued list is used for stations that have been discontinued and do not have a v3 and non-v3 version.

If @ladsmund will be maintaining the AWS processing and WMO BUFR generation moving forward, it is important to know about wmo_config.py and make sure it is periodically reviewed and maintained, particularly the stid_to_skip dict.

After approval, this change should be put into production at Azure by pulling down the changes and updating the pypromice package.
